Reflection

May we reflect for a moment upon the Thanksgiving holiday that we've just enjoyed--upon the consumption of far too much delicious food, the blessing of family and friends with whom we've shared it, the treasure of life that we take for granted, let us not forget to bow our hearts before the
One of whom the WORD says, "O, Give thanks to the LORD, for HE is good, for HIS mercies endure forever." Psalm 107:1

And let us not forget that this thankfulness of spirit should abide within us not only on one day a year that is set aside for nation-wide thanks, but through every day of our lives.

And may we ever be mindful of the one, "unspeakable GIFT," II Corinthians 9:15, that GIFT that exceeds all others, that GIFT that is our only true treasure amid all the trinkets and baubles and currency of life that we may possess.

Let us never cease to lift up our hands and our hearts in praise to the ONE who gave HIMSELF to set us free from bondage to sin, according to Luke 19:40, the ONE who died that we may live, the ONE who has gone to prepare a place for us to abide with HIM forever.

JESUS, we thank You for YOU!
