Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks for checking in again! I wanted to wish all a Happy Thanksgiving! Their is plenty to thank God for this thanksgiving and I encourage you to take this time to ponder the goodness of the Lord. As you do you will begin to realize the wonders that you have to be thankful for. It may simply be for the peace in your heart, or the joy of new friend, it may be for wonderful breakthroughs in your family, your faith, or your finances. Most of all, our hearts need to be thankful for God's unchanging love for His most prized creation! People! It is an amazing thing to think that every single person you know and meet is created in the image of God. O they may not reflect Him in the way that we might hope, but that does not mean that under the surface of what we see is a person that God sees. He sees them as a prized creation, unique and special! He sees them as someone He loves so much He was willing to send His Son to die for and take the penalty for all their failures and faults, He is willing to forgive and offer them a new path to live! A pathway to life and blessing!

This Thanksgiving as you come together with family and friends be sure as you see each one of them again, see them through the eyes of God! See them with the love of God, with the heart of God and with the hope of God. Then with His love shining through you, show them an example of how much He loves them with your love! It is the season for miracles!

May God use you mightily to change your world! Happy Thankgiving! PB
