Saturday – Open Topic

Reading – Psalm 136

Highlight Verse:

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭136‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Welcome to November!

As the month that we in the US celebrate Thanksgiving, many say it is a good time to give thanks for something every day of November.

I encourage you to post something to be thankful for each day on social media to encourage other to express their gratitude to God as well.

I’ll start it off:

I am grateful for my family. Aside from trick or treaters, it was a quiet evening at home. My wife is visiting her father for the weekend and our youngest was hanging out with friends. I saw our son a couple of times, but he tends to hang out in his room.

As a partial introvert, I don’t mind the quiet, but it also makes me appreciate having the family around.

I have been blessed with an amazing wife, four awesome children (now all officially adults) and so far, two sons-in-law.

The love that flows through this home is seen in the words and deeds of all those around me.

For that, I am very thankful to God.

What is the first thing you are thankful this month?
Please share so others may be encouraged to be thankful.

Thursday – Letters

Reading – 1 Timothy 3

Highlight Verse:

“Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith: Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory.”

1 Timothy 3:16 NLT

I admit that I looked for thankfulness in today’s reading.

In the letters, it is not usually hard to find. Paul tends to be outspokenly thankful for all the people he writes to. That includes Timothy. Just not in this chapter.

So, I fell back on something to be thankful for – or, rather, someone.

God came to the earth in the form of a man, Christ.

That’s a real story in history which we celebrate in a festival that is officially a month and 2 days from now. But really, we celebrate the birth of Christ for the entire next month.

As we celebrate thankfulness today, let us draw that thankfulness out through the whole next month and celebrate the season of Christmas with an eye on how thankful we should be for God coming to meet us here on Earth.

Have you given thanks for the miracle of the birth of Christ today?

As we enter Advent, can you find something to be thankful for each day until Christmas?
