HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I was able to share a short Thanksgiving talk in our city-wide Thanksgiving service last night.
Here's the salient points. The not so salient other stuff consisted of a really corny Tday poem (people laughed) and a few ramblings and bramblings.

We took our thoughts from Colossians 2:6-7 and focused on the last few words of verse 7.

My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you've been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You're deeply rooted in him. You're well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you've been taught. School's out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving. (The Message)

LIVING IN THANKSGIVING


1. Thankfulness is necessary to overcome disappointment in your life.


2. Thankfulness is essential to overcoming resentment in your life.


Somebody said: “Thankfulness produces more positive emotional energy than any other attitude in life.”

3. Thankfulness brings contentment into your life.

Thankfulness will never replace your disappointments and losses in life, but it will heal your spirit.
