Thankfulness

Happy Thanksgiving to our readers. Here are some definitions of Thankfulness that our Pastor shared with us at our Wednesday night Bible study: "recognizing the benefits which God and others have provided, accepting difficulties as part of God's loving provision, looking for appropriate ways to express genuine appreciation, and looking for ways to honor others who have benefited my life." Psalm 100 is a wonderful scripture for the Thanksgiving season, and there are many stories in Scripture as an example for thankfulness. Consider the story of the thankful leper or the story of Ruth.
Here are some things that we are thankful for.
Salvation
Family
Friends
Bills paid in unexpected ways
Prayers answered in ways that proved to us God's power
Open doors for witnessing
A growing, active youth group
and many many more!
