Happy Thanksgiving


15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, … (Ephesians 1:15-16, ESV). 

The Apostle Paul is writing to the believers in Ephesus.  He begins with praise to God first.  Praising God for all He has done and continues to do.  And then he comes to thanksgiving towards the saints (fellow believers) and is thankful for their faith and love. 

As I’m preparing for this year for Thanksgiving, I am reminded of many faithful saints who have personally walked this journey of faith with me through the years.  Thank you for being there, thank your for your prayers and encouragement.  Thank you for your faithfulness in Christ and leading the example in following Him!

Lord, all our praise and thanksgiving is deserved to You, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.  There is much to be thankful for.  Lord, thank You for redemption, for the forgiveness of sins, and the riches of Your grace.  Thank You for salvation and our eternal inheritance.  And thank You Lord for the faithful believers to journey life with. Thank you for those you have personally brought into my life!  May You bless us this Thanksgiving Day as we remember to give You thanks for all you have done and continue to do!  In Jesus Name, Amen.
