Did you know that giving thanks gives good health?
“Studies on gratitude have shown measurable effects on everything from neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), social bonding hormones (oxytocin), cognitive and pleasure related neurotransmitters (dopamine), to inflammatory and immune systems stress hormones (cortisol), cardiac and EEG rhythms, blood pressure, and blood sugar, according to Doraiswamy. Other medical studies have indicated a thankful attitude reduces stress and boosts immunity.” Dr. P. Doraiswamy
Are you thankful for everything? In times of great distress in your life can you give thanks?
Why no Christmas decorations yet? Christmas is wonderful! The lights, beautiful tress, wreaths and everything that makes the ordinary sparkle. But, lest we forget, there is a Holiday in the USA that is unique. THANKSGIVING.
A time set aside to thank God for all His bountiful blessings. Pilgrims, fall leaves, pumpkins and other decorations of the autumn season still are prominent in my home.
The day after Thanksgiving, everything will change, and then the Christmas decor will be back.
(This is a personal choice. May God bless those who love Christmas so much they are decorated already.)
This is a page from a church hymnal. Many churches today do not use hymnals anymore, they project the words on a screen. New technology is good as long as we don’t forget that music is to worship the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus.
Today when you go to church worship the Lord by singing from your heart.
Are the words you sing truly honoring Him or do they just make you feel good?
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16
Just a personal note from Carolyn Curtis, cofounder of SOS Events Ministry.
November is a special month when we set aside a day of Thanksgiving. In truth every day should be a day we thank the Lord.
I am especially thankful for my salvation, my family and a special blessing of successful eye surgery.
It is amazing that God has given wisdom to surgeons who can restore sight to someone whose vision is impaired by cataracts. One eye done and another in a little over a week.
Praise the Lord!
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Psalms 103:2
Alabama had 2 events with SOS Events this past weekend. 22 people accepted Jesus as their Savior.
Florida
In Florida 2 events have reported so far with 5 salvations.
There are even more events that have taken place but have not been documented yet.
Praise the Lord for every person who now knows they are going to Heaven. Pray for the new Christians. Thank you to all the faithful volunteers throughout the USA who give of their time and talent to witness at events.
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Psalms 95:1
