Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And a special birthday wish to our daughter Alisha.
I just posted a holiday blog a couple days ago. If you haven’t had the chance to get to that yet, please read-on. In fact, if you haven’t done so already, I would encourage you to hit the tab in the lower right of your screen in order to “follow” us. You will simply be notified when something new has been posted.
In my quiet time with the Lord this morning I was reading from the book of Colossians. I had to share these amazing verses which remind us to step-up and take the initiative to “put on” the various qualities that we all desire to have. It’s a powerful reminder to us that LOVE IS A VERB. We so often think of love as merely a feeling. But it is as well a verb–meaning it requires action. Also, is the fitting theme for today of BEING THANKFUL.
12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Col. 3:12-17 ESV)
Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day today and every day in the future.
From our home to yours-
Mark & Tracy
See You in the River
