Thanksgiving Thoughts

Our faith can overcome anger

It’s Thanksgiving again,
and my thoughts are divided.
Like our family,
and the culture of this nation.

A day to remember,
what God has provided.
While waiting,
to see the blessings to come.

A day to reflect,
on the things we’ve lost.
It could have been worse;
we are thankful it was not.

It’s time to remember,
the arguments at the table.
And to let it go;
do not hold it forever.

Think of our epic dreams,
and the past we shared.
The good we can do,
and the future we can see.

Being thankful fuels our faith.
It sees what we can be.
It believes it will be so.
In a future day to come.

God Will Come Running

When we turn to Him Jesus tells us a story about a young man who left home and went to make a name for himself. (Luke 15:11-32) It could be a kid going to college with his parents credit card. Or a kid chasing a dream with his fathers support and blessing. We know this…

How Do We Pray?

It’s simpler than we think Prayer, is a conversation with God. For me, I just talk to the Lord. Jesus says that God is our father. The Apostles tell us that God is our father as well, if we know Him. When we believe Him, He calls us friend. Abraham believed what God told him,…

As If By Fire

We Are Being Sanctified “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s…
