How Much More!
November 15, 2017
If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!
Luke 11:13
In October 1915, during World War I, Oswald Chambers arrived at Zeitoun Camp, a military training center near Cairo, Egypt, to serve as a YMCA chaplain to British Commonwealth soldiers. When he announced a weeknight religious service, 400 men packed the large YMCA hut to hear Chamberss talk titled, What Is the Good of Prayer? Later, when he spoke individually with men who were trying to find God in the midst of war, Oswald often quoted Luke 11:13, If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!
The free gift of God through His Son, Jesus, is forgiveness, hope, and His living presence in our lives through the Holy Spirit. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened (v. 10).
On November 15, 1917, Oswald Chambers died unexpectedly from a ruptured appendix. To honor him, a soldier led to faith in Christ by Oswald purchased a marble carving of a Bible with the message of Luke 11:13 on its open page and placed it beside his grave: How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him! This amazing gift from God is available to each of us today.
Father, You are the giver of all good gifts. We thank You for the great gift of the Holy Spirit who lives in us and guides us in Your truth today.

Gods gift of the Holy Spirit in our lives is available to each of us today.
Would you want a God who gave you everything you asked for? Or would that be a bit frightening? While Jesus was teaching His disciples how to pray (Luke 11:14), He described God as being like a loving Father who would not give them a scorpion if they asked for an egg.
Was He just assuring us that God is good? Or was He gently suggesting something about us? Was He hinting that sometimes we dont know how to pray for our own good? (Rom 8:26). Maybe thats why He promised that His Father would share His Spirit with those who trusted Him for what is best (Luke 11:13).

You are Strong and DominantYou are not easily distracted in life... or at Thanksgiving. You always have your eye on the prize. You don't pay attention to unimportant details, and half-hearted Thanksgiving side dishes are barely on your radar.
The main event of Thanksgiving is the turkey, and that's really all you care about. As always, you only think big. In life, you take a similar approach. You're able to focus on the one goal that matters. You are good at getting whatever you're after.

I’ve always liked the stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy more than the meat, especially the dry white meat.

Hi Luv:
Sez here this week that I need to find my dancing shoes because I am about to do the Mashed Potato.
You Are Flexible and Easy Going
You’re the type of person who can get along with anyone. Like mashed potatoes, you mesh well with stronger personalities.
In fact, you tend to prefer to hang with those who steal the spotlight. You were never looking for the spotlight anyway.
You are appreciative of every thing you have in life, and you don’t take much for granted. You enjoy life’s small comforts.
You are never picky, and you pride yourself on being low maintenance. You can always make the best of a bad time.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
You Are Sweet and Down to Earth
You are kind, wholesome, and considerate. You are a very well grounded person.
You get a lot of satisfaction from being responsible and working hard. You like to have all your ducks in a row.
People find you very relatable and exceptionally dependable. Friends and family know that they can count on your strength.
While you're reliable, you're not boring at all. You have a lot of whimsy in your personality... and even a little zest!
Well, I don't know about all that. I just like sweet taters. LOL

Hi Luv. My dad made the best stuffing in the world — bread, garlic, onions. Alas, the recipe died with him.

You Are Friendly and Cooperative |
You love the togetherness of Thanksgiving, and you like adding your own little something to the group dynamic. Like stuffing, you do a good job complementing and cooperating with others. When you're on your own, you're a little lost. You are old fashioned and love traditions. You like to remember the holidays of your childhood and replicate them as much as possible. You think that passing down customs is important. Even if everyone at the table doesn't like stuffing much, it should still be served. Actually, they missed my very favorite...pecan pie! It's in a food group all its own! :) |

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Luvy, for preparing
the Canteen for today's activities.
My results:
You are not easily distracted in life...
or at Thanksgiving. You always have your eye on the prize.
You don't pay attention to unimportant details,
and half-hearted Thanksgiving
side dishes are barely on your radar.
The main event of Thanksgiving is the turkey,
and that's really all you care about.
As always, you only think big.
In life, you take a similar approach.
You're able to focus on the one goal that matters.
You are good at getting whatever you're after.
Got to make my rounds.
Please stay...
chat up the troops and their families.
The military and their families, that's who!
Remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS open
for our Military, Allies, and families.
And, those who support them.
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
