A Dream in Thanksgiving Perspective

Tamara and I were particularly blessed by our friend's blog post today because it is so appropriate right now in what has been placed in our lives. It encourages a perspective that we want to exemplify in our attitude everyday.

We also desire to characterize bonding love for others, heart-controlling peace and obedient gratitude as this passage reminds us so appropriately on this Thanksgiving day!

"14 Above all, put on love — the perfect bond of unity. 15 And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful. 16 Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

AS WE REFLECT ON THE PAST GOODNESS AND GRACE GOD HAS SHOWERED ON US, WE ARE GRATEFUL BEYOND DESCRIPTION. WE LOOK OBEDIENTLY IN FAITH TO THE FUTURE FOR THE DIRECTION HE WILL PROVIDE TO COMPLETE WHAT HE HAS STARTED IN US.

WE COMMIT TO BE THANKFUL FOR THE BLESSINGS IN STORE FOR THOSE OF US WHO LOVE GOD AND ARE CALLED TOGETHER TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE.

WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO AS WE PURPOSE TO SERVE THE HOPELESS AND HURTING AS JESUS DID!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!

This picture from yesterday shows one glimpse into a story of how God is already providing staff and horses for Harmony Acres. We are so thankful for God's goodness!
