Newsletter

Today I was busy- frantically typing to get my church newsletter done.  I have to print it by tomorrow.  But, due to some late submissions, I'm still working on it.  And, sadly, today I had a hard time figuring out where God was.  That's why this is so good for me.  It makes me stop- and without it I probably wouldn't stop.  But, looking back through the day, I realize where I saw God.  It was when I did stop- not by choice but by involuntary reaction.  I was reading an article by the pastor for our newsletter.  And, rather than proofreading it, I got caught in the words- in the hope and encouragement- and the challenge!  101 goals completed in 1001 days!  Whatever you want to call it- a bucket list, a to do list.  You know the things we all put off, what if we actually did them?  And what if those things enriched our lives spiritually, emotionally, and physically?  Then, what have we got to lose.  Those words spoke to me.  And, I wondered if I even had 101 things I wanted to do.  But, I'm going to start my list and see what I can accomplish.
The other part of the article reminded me of my Thanksgiving goal last year.  I put something I was thankful for as my facebook status everyday.  And, it made me realize how blessed I truly am!  I think it's time to start that right now.  Who's with me?  Let's give thanks for all we have this Thanksgiving season.
Ephesians 5:20
always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Blessings,
