God is good all the time--there was no rest yesterday--but the testimonies of gratefulness of the redeemed was awesome, the youth group from Crane First Baptist were truly role models, Brooke's testimony and the need to forgive others as Christ has forgiven us. THAT WILL PREACH.
3 churches coming together to share in a Thanksgiving Dinner last night is always a blessing and I believe we blessed God with obedience, unity, and love.
Pray for those in the altar last night, for their burdens, and their grief, thank you, Lord for "The Baker Family" with special prayer for Janis Rife.

I am thankful for:
our home, which I think of as family. Home is not a house, even though we live in a house with a roof, a heat source for winter, a cooling source for summer--but home is more than that. Home is a place of security, a place of warmth of love---care, compassion, a heart beat of concern for one another.
In our home, we have our 86 year old wheel chair bound mother. Who needs more care every month. However, she can normally rise and get out of her bed and into the wheel chair. Mom is so grateful. She always says, "good morning" it looks nice outside, the sun is shining, those flowers are beautiful. Only occassionally will she say, 'it's been a long day, or I don't feel good." Extremely positive person--
I am thankful for my mother. She was 86 this week on Monday.

Thursday but Sunday is coming
As I quietly reflect upon my past, present and future with gratefulness to God Almighty. November is always a reminder to intention think of God's faithfulness. When the Lord is first, the simple as well as the profound becomes clearer with our focus upon the Lord. Eye/heart focus focus, then whatever else just fades into insignificance. I'm so blessed, first with parents, grandparents who loved, for my dear wife, who is truly a friend. She has been so instrumental in the raising of the boys, with a Godly influence in our home. Thank you, Lord for saving me, for bringing my wife into my life.
