Tom Curtis cofounder of SOS Events Ministry said, “Getting up every morning is an event.”
Do you thank the Lord for each new day?
Tom woke up many mornings not feeling physically well, however, he always used each day to Praise the Lord and tell everyone he met about his wonderful Savior, Jesus.
Today, rejoice that you have this new day to be used by God to do His will. 
It is such a joy to go shopping and hear songs of the season. Maybe not the hymns we love about baby Jesus, but happy uplifting songs that bring joy.
Jingle Bells, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas. These songs though not about the true meaning of Christmas gives a spring in our steps.
People seem happier at this time of year. More smiles and more tolerance of long lines in the grocery store or at the mall.
That is why I love the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We must be careful not to get so caught up in the worldly activities that we forget the true meaning of the season. Jesus is the reason for the Season.
Sunday is a day that many of us have free to do what we want. How do you spend this first day of the week?
Is it just another day to you. Shopping, relaxing, playing golf, visiting friends or family.?
Wait! This is a day that God has given us to worship Him. Do you take time to go to church? How about reading His Word and praying.
There are many ways we can spend today, but let us not forget to take time to worship our Savior.
When Jesus left the world, He told his disciples that He would send them another Comforter. The Holy Spirit then came and dwelled within them.
The good news is that when we trust Jesus as our Savior, the Holy Spirit comes in and dwells in us.
He is our Comforter, Teacher, Guide and Director. I am so thankful for the Holy Spirit.
Holidays are something to be thankful for because it gives us time to be with family and friends.
It is time to stop and count our many blessings thar God has given us.
As we go now into the time of year when many holidays are celebrated, we as Christians must let our lights shine bright.
Christmas lights are everywhere. Shopping and the hustle of parties and other activities take our time and attention, we must remember it is the perfect time to witness for Jesus.
So be thankful for the holidays coming and use this time wisely.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Ephesians 5:20 – Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
God’s Word, the Bible. His way of communication with us.
All the answers to life’s problems and concerns are found in the Bible.
Where did I come from? How can I know what to do with my life? How do I choose a spouse? What should my relationship be with my children? Neighbors? Friends?
Is there life after death? How do I get to spend eternity with God?
All of life’s questions are answered in the Bible. God wants to bless us and He does give us the answers, but we have to be reading, searching and understanding what He has to say to us in His Word.
Today give thanks to God for giving us His written Word. Then make it a priority in your life everyday.
How are you doing in your daily thanks to the Lord as we look forward to Thanksgiving Day.
On Thanksgiving we look forward to a great meal, turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing and the best part dessert. A true feast in most homes in America.
There are many people who are not as blessed as we are. Not only on Thanksgiving but everyday of the year. Hunger. They do not know where their next meal is coming from, maybe a soup kitchen or a charitable organization.
How about you? Are you truly grateful for your daily bread? Today, take time to thank The Lord for His blessing. Do not wait until Thanksgiving Day to give thanks.
Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11
What a beautiful day on Saturday. Weather was perfect. Venue at the Red Barn Ranch in Plant City, Florida was great.
SOS Events Ministry was there with willing volunteers and a new worker who speaks fluent Spanish. That is an answer to prayer.
The best blessing of it all was that 10 people invited Jesus to be their Savior. Every opportunity to present the Gospel is what we are thankful for.
In the USA we are blessed to be able to go to the church of our choice. In many other countries this is not true.
Some countries dictate which church the people are allowed to go to. Other countries people are told they cannot go to church at all. These people are in danger if they worship together.
Church is important for our growth as Christians, fellowship of believers and help in time of need.
