A Lost Art
Read:
|
The apostle Paul had never been to the church in Colosse, but he had heard all about it from Epaphras. He knew it was a church under attack by false teachers, so he prayed fervently for this congregation (Colossians 1:9-14; 2:4-7).
Among his requests, Paul asked that they would give joyful thanks to the Father because He had rescued them, moving them from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of His Son (1:12-13). We too need to be thankful for what Christ has done for us.
Thankfulness seems to be a lost art today. Warren Wiersbe illustrated this problem in his commentary on Colossians. He told about a ministerial student in Evanston, Illinois, who was part of a life-saving squad. In 1860, a ship went aground on the shore of Lake Michigan near Evanston, and Edward Spencer waded again and again into the frigid waters to rescue 17 passengers. In the process, his health was permanently damaged. Some years later at his funeral, it was noted that not one of the people he rescued ever thanked him.
Let's take time often to recall how God has rescued us from eternal death and has given us eternal life through His Son. Let's make certain that we never allow thanking the Father to become a lost art. —Dave Egner
With practice, anyone can master the art of thankfulness.
Nah, we are going to eat about 4:30 this afternoon. Then I will have some leftovers to take to work and share with my partner tonight.

Happy Thanksgiving, Mayor to you and yours.
Thank you for the spiritual food for the day.
Snow at my house.
Hiya mr. 6
Hi miss Feather
Bittygirl discovered crayons and walls mix this morning. Not to parental satisfaction, but they do mix.

Oooo Aaaaahh
Thank you Feather, we have some snow but the southtowns will be getting buried with lake effect, 1 to 2 feet with blizzard conditions. So glad I live to the north.
God Bless you and yours this Thanksgiving.
Oh dear, more grey hair coming on. ;)
You know though I like this snow for Thanksgiving, feels more like a holiday with snow.

This is one of a series of photographs of the eclipse of the Sun which was taken from the Apollo 12 spacecrft during its transearth journey home from the Moon. This view was created when the Earth moved directly between the Sun and the Apollo 12 spacecraft.
Howdy ma'am
Nope. Today I've decided to grill a pork roast ... :)
Got the pork roast in the special marinate and will be firing up the charcoal shortly.
Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!
