Blessings To Us When We Are Thankful!

November 15, 2023

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?

Jesus can bring comfort and joy!

Giving Thanks To the LORD!

November 14, 2023

For the next week, everyday until Thanksgiving Day a new Bible verse will focus on our thankfulness to God.

No matter what our circumstance in life right now, Jesus is worthy of our praise and thanksgiving to Him.

No Christmas Decorations Yet!

November 13, 2023

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.)

Thankful for 85 Wonderful Years

June 5, 2023
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Psalms 103:2-5

Very seldom is something personal written about on this website but today my heart is so full of thanksgiving to God for giving me 85 years of a wonderful life.

I am thankful for my salvation. The opportunity to serve Jesus for 65 of those years. Especially, SOS Events Ministry for the last 21 years.

I am thankful for my wonderful family that has grown from just me, an only child to over 100 immediate family. That includes children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. 2 great, great grandchildren. This family always grows every year by adding new spouses and children.

I am so thankful for the many friends, some I have known for years and others are new.

Good health, home and most of all the promise of Heaven which gets closer for me every year.

Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special. My heart overflows with gratitude. Carolyn Slater Curtis, Cofounder of SOS Events Ministry

Goodbye November!

November 30, 2022

The last day of November. How did you do on your month of thanksgiving?

Did you find something to be thankful for everyday?

It is a good thing to thank the Lord everyday all year long.

Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalms 106:1

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ephesians 5:20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Thankful for God’s Word!

November 23, 2022

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.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Thankful for Daily Bread!

November 22, 2022
Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11

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
