Hello Everyone,
As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving this week, let us take some time out and think about the goodness of our Lord and what He  has done and is continuing doing in our lives.  Please read the poem below and give God some praise.  Thank you Lord.

Thanksgiving is a time for love
To come together and to thank God up above

For all that He Has done for us each and every day
We don't have to have much to appreciate God in a very special way

We all are here to give hope and so much more
We have to know what's important like never before

It's so crazy out here but God has us in the palm of His hands
Don't give us but always get strength from the Lord to stand

This is just a token to give back what God has given to me
Always know that you have to trust Him you see

Trials are temporary but when we put Him first we see life in another way
Let's always be thankful each and every day

Happy Happy Thanksgiving from me to you
Know that you're blessed in all that you do.

Amen 

Dear Lord,
Thank you again for another day and thank you for giving us wisdom and understanding. I know we all are in different places but the fact that you love us all and you're always there to comfort and to give us peace. Lord as you tell us all the time love your neighbor, forgive and be examples.  Words just can't express the meaning of how that will change our lives.  Lord, people are hurting inside but some are not strong enough to look further and pick up the cross and walk.  Through pain and suffering.  Please help us all but each day is a day and when we can understand that wisdom, we will have peace and joy in our hearts.  Love is a choice and you tell us all the time  when we're humbled, it's always good.  You also tell us to treat each other the way we would want to be treated and we see things happening around us that's not good, try and mend or make peace.  You also say blessed are the peacemakers.  Lord, I know  you're with all of us each day and thank you so much for that unconditional love but most importantly thank you for showing me how to love through all things.  Amen and thank you Jesus.

Dear Lord,

As we awaken today, we just want to say  "Thank You" Thank you for giving us another chance, thank you for always being there to help us in situations, thank you for forgiving us, thank you for making us strong when we are weak, thank you for teaching us wisdom and understanding, thank you for watching over us all the time, thank you for family, thank you for friends, thank you for allowing us to share our gifts, thank you for showing us the right way, thank you for children, thank you for walking and talking with us, thank you for showing us how to be humble and Lord thank you for teaching us how to have peace.  Lord, there are so many things to be thankful for and I can go on and on but it's very important to thank you because it's all because of you that make these things happen.  Lord, this is why it's important to love, forgive, to try and love our neighbor, to not bring stress on others, to always treat people the way we would want to be treated and most importantly to put you first. Lord, please help us all to be more like you.  When we know something is not right, help us to change our ways so that all can benefit with hope, love and joy. You are the core and the vine and without you we are nothing.  Thank you so much and we love you. Amen

God is a loving God and He loves each and every one of us unconditionally.  We all are blessed because He loves us so much that He sent down His son Jesus to show us how blessed we are today.  We all should have joy in our hearts from Jesus' sacrifice for us. He died for our sins and pretty much showed us that if we hold on and walk with Him with the cross, we too will see the victory. I don't know about you but that's something to be thankful for because when we've been blessed with that wisdom, how can we fall?  God only asks us one thing, to spead the Good News on our journey.  He didn't say it was going to be easy but he said "give me your burdens and I will give you rest"  I say this all the time but peace ONLY comes from God.  Our duty here is to walk with him and when He wants us to sacrifice, do it because it's only going to keep us humble, move us closer to Him, keep us on the right path and give us joy and peace.  That's what time it is and that's the wisdom and understanding that we need in this world today.  It's not about us but about the One who put us here.  We need to evaluate how we're living and how we're treating one another because if we don't get it right, our lives will be complicated and we will spend many days miserable.  We can start with treating people the way we would want to be treated.  Give more love instead of trying to keep people apart from each other.  Finally, ask God to guide us to where He needs us to be and give us the strength to deal with the storms one day at a time.  We will see change and our hearts will be filled with love, joy and peace.  Thank you Jesus.  Amen and Amen

Faith is so important today but it's up to each individual to trust and believe.  As I say all the time, it's a choice.  Sometimes when we go through the storm, we think there's no way out or we're stuck in a situation.  Let me tell you something. God is a good God and nothing is impossible for him.  We should always trust him without a doubt.  I'm a true believer of that because he protected me and guided me when I was blind.  Of all the things that we do in life, we should be appreciative of  God and know that he's walking with us, talking with us and just  always there for us.  He has blessed us so much so how can we not have faith.  If we look back on our lives and see how things happen or didn't happen, we can truly know there's a God.  Have faith and know without a doubt that God loves you and will always be there for you till the end. Amen

God is so good to us and it's very important to be grateful for what he does and what others do as well.  Sometimes we take for granted what's in front of us but it's always good to be humble and treat people with respect because each day is another day and we never know what we're going to get.  When we're appreciative, we know how to handle ourselves and how to interact with others.  When we do the opposite, we're not grateful because what we do to others, can be done to us. God sees what we do and how we handle ourselves.  It's always good to try and be a good example because when we're negative and not appreciative, things can change for the worst. Let's be attentive to what we do so we can grow in wisdom  and spirit, gain strength and be good examples. Be grateful. Amen
