Happy Fall!

I love the change of seasons. Where we live, there isn't a drastic change in weather, but each season arrives with a change in focus.

For me, Fall is a time to start preparing our hearts for the great celebration of Christmas, Christ's birth. What better to prepare us than thanksgiving?

Psalm 100:4-5

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations."

No matter what happens in our homes, in this county, in this economy, in this world, we have the truth and promises of our faithful Father in heaven - His everlasting mercy, a living hope, an undefiled, incorruptible inheritance, a place reserved for us in Heaven for those who choose Him. I am thankful for these promises ... for I know I have a BIG God who can (and has) overcome all things ... what else REALLY matters?

What are you thankful for?

Personally, I am thankful for people who will continue to point me to the truth found in the Word, and who endeavor to live that truth to it's fullest. Who are unwilling to compromise, and live a life of love and service.
I am thankful for YOU.
