THANKSGIVING

          Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;              give thanks to him and praise his name.           PSALM 100:4

     There are those of us who would have Christmas all the year.  Christmas is music, gifts, bells, and all the imagery that our past Christmases conjure up.  I am one of those who would like to see Thanksgiving at least be a season and not just a Thursday filled with turkey and football. 

     Thanksgiving is an opportunity in the midst of the mayhem. World events currently circling the globe like a freak storm of nature are spreading despair, unrest and uncertainty across the nations.  However, in my house, Thanksgiving is first and foremost an acknowledgment of God’s presence and position in our family.  Just the fact that we have a house, not quiet paid for, and a family, though most of the members are rescued animals; really so are we!

     And that’s what makes Thanksgiving so special.  We are rescued!  Christ’s gift of his birth life, death and resurrection, is the stuff of Christians around the world that makes us all so thankful. I am so thankful for all my friends and fellow gardeners, each of whom has had significant input toward the development of my garden-life. 

     Central Church has been central to the development of my present state of thanksgiving.  Central’s members, staff and so many others who have graced the doors over the passed 13 years have been an integral part in making my Thanksgiving possible.

Kat and I are eternally thankful for each of you.  THANKS
