Thankfulness

1 Corinthians 10:16
Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

Today, I am thankful, too, for you.  I hope that you enjoy a few of these quotes and that you had a great Thanksgiving.
------

"Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving."
--Kahlil Gibran

"Giving thanks for abundance is sweeter than the abundance itself..."
-–Rumi

"Gratitude is the memory of the heart."
–-French proverb

2 Corinthians 4:15
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

2 Corinthians 9:11
You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

1 Timothy 2:1
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone.

  1. The morning started with leftover crepes I had made a couple of days ago and enjoying the beauty outside my window of the day just starting. Actually, I got up right when Macy's parade was ending...stayed up a little late.

    The afternoon...man,the turkey was super tender and juicy...and with gravy, why in the world did I wait a whole year! Sweet potato casserole was slammin'. Mom did a great first attempt at the dressing and a guest brought a bucketful of brown rice and mushrooms spread out on a huge beautiful silver platter.

    Aunt Karen played her piano while I felt like I could easily doze off on her soft and comfy couch.

    Baby cousin Jordi was the cutest watching baby Einstein videos on a flat screen 5 times as big as he is.

    My wife was sick but still did a bang up job on her makeup and looked the prettiest.

    Finished the night with a hot ham and cheese roll, green been casserole and hot tea while watching Paul McCartney in New York. Not sure how late I'll be up, but I just might get me one of those baked pears, too.

    God bless! I hope that you all had a great day and someone to spend it with. May your holiday season truly be filled with joy and peace on earth!

    Love,
    Karl

  2. I took this from a Facebook note by pastor Tommy Smith:

    "FAITH IN FAITH IS FAITH GONE ASTRAY." A. W. TOZER - Faith does not save us, it only recognizes that we are saved. Ephesians 2:8-9; Salvation can not be earned our bought it is a GIFT. Salvation is an act of God's Grace. I am not ashamed to proclaim the Gospel "GOOD NEWS" of Christ. I am a GOSPEL Preacher. Grace, Pe...ace, and Good news to the World.... Good news is all I got! GOD IS GOOD! Don't ever doubt it.See More
