"O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!" (Psalm 107.1)
Tomorrow we will sit around the table with our co-workers and enjoy a turkey dinner with all of the fixings. It is easy to give thanks on Thanksgiving Day, but everyday we should never cease to give thanks to God for His provision and protection in our lives. Here are a few of the things that come to mind as we count our many blessings:
We count it a privilege to serve the Lord.
The Lord has led us here and has so graciously provided for our needs. We have been in Loja four months now. The work is going slower than anticipated. There are no Bible studies yet, but we continue to meet new people. Please pray that God will lead us to people whose hearts are ready to accept the Gospel.
We are blessed with wonderful supporters & churches that encourage us.
The apostle Paul expresses our thoughts so well in 2 Thessalonians 1:3 -- "We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each other (and toward us!) aboundeth." We are so thankful for the many churches and individuals who uphold us in prayer and support us on a monthly basis. We in turn have the responsibility of being good stewards with what the Lord has given to us to use for His glory. Pray with us that we will be mindful every day to accomplish His will, using our gifts and talents for Him.
We are blessed with a precious family!
Join us in prayer as we give thanks to God for our family, for protection, for His daily help and His daily provisions.
What are you thankful for?
