The Center of Thanksgiving

From Our Lay Directors:

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We all think of the same thing when it comes to November. THANKSGIVING!! It’s always fun and exciting together with family and friends, break bread together and share memories and laughter.

Here are a few reminders of who we need to keep at the center of our celebration;

“Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thess 5: 16-18

Personally, I struggle with anxiety. This next passage reminds me to give it all to God and keep my focus on Christ.

“Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:6-7

When I struggle to do or say the right thing, I try to remember how my words and actions will affect others. “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God theFather through him.” Col 3: 17

In times when I feel alone, I remember I have a great God who loves me to no end.

“O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his love endures forever!” Psalm 107: 1

We pray all of you have a wonderful, safe, joyous Thanksgiving! And remember, in all things, give thanks!

DeColores Friends,

Blessings!
