SUBSTITUTION
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17
November is such a wonderful month. Not only is it the month in which my family celebrates my wife’s birthday, but we get to celebrate Thanksgiving. My family will sometimes do things a little differently. We may not have such a traditional meal at Thanksgiving. We have been known to have spaghetti, pizza, fried chicken and waffles, all the way to a full-on junk food meal. Of course, we love traditional meals as well, but we like to mix it up. The important thing for all of us is to be together. My wife and I are so thankful for the times when we have our family together. All the kids and grandchildren in one place with all the laughter and yes even with the playful bickering. We listen to all the controlled chaos with joy in our hearts. Even after everyone has gone home, we go over the day’s events with happy and thankful hearts as we clean up a house that has been destroyed by grandkids that Poppy and Mimi spoil. Such a time to be thankful for our families that God has blessed us with in this life.
This time of thankfulness should spill over into our single day lives. I pray that our thankfulness for our families will remind each and every one of us that we have a Creator who loves us and deserves our gratitude. God and God alone is the reason for all we have whether it be the physical or spiritual life. It is God’s grace through our faith in Jesus Christ that has saved us. It is God Holy Spirit that guides us in our daily lives that shows us all we must be thankful for here on earth.
So, let us enjoy our families and be thankful for them. And even more so, we should give thanks and praise to God above for He is worthy of our worship. Without God with have nothing. With God we have everything. So, in all that we do let us give thanks to God.
Blessings, Pastor Shedd
