O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever, Psalm 107:1. Through personal experience I will be the first one to tell you that God has done so much for me and I have so much to thank him for. He is a God of forgiveness, healing, redemption, loving-kindness, tender mercies, providence, righteousness, justice, grace and patience. These are things that we receive and we don’t deserve any of them. If we just stop and think about it no matter how difficult our life can become at times for sure, we can always count our blessings past, present and future. What has God done for you? So during this Thanksgiving holiday, perhaps while family and friends are gathered together, take time to share your blessings with others.

Christian love and sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Robert Moore and Ronnie Turentine.
