The Advent season lasts for four Sundays leading up to Christmas. At that time, the new Christian year begins with the twelve-day celebration of Christmastide, which lasts from Christmas Eve until Epiphany on January 6. (Advent begins on the Sunday that falls between November 27th and December 3rd each year.)
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving…Col. 4:2
Thanksgiving is not only a day that we set aside to remember what we are thankful for…but thanksgiving is a way of living…an attitude of our heart that everything we say and everything we do flows from.
May we all have a thankful attitude and be “happy” in thanksgiving each and every day!! Happy Thanksgiving, my precious Brothers and Sisters!!
YOU have received a special gift from the Lord!
We are told to employ it…to use it…in order to serve one another and for God to be glorified! What gift are you using for the body of Christ and for our Lord’s glory?
Don’t think that your gift is not needed or not as great as others! You are special and unique and the Holy Spirit will empower you to use His gift within you to build up and strengthen the body of Christ!
Glorify the Lord by using your gift for Him today!
Look for opportunities…
“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.” [Brian Tracy]
Oh Lord! Help us to walk in a right attitude! Help us to be a people that walk in the fruit of the Spirit. May we allow the Holy Spirit to bear His fruit through us. We can’t do it on our own, Lord! We need YOU!!
“…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 ESV
“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.” John 16:13 NIV
Thank You, Holy Spirit, for being our TRUTH!! Thank You for showing us what is to come! Thank You for helping us to see beyond what our physical ears hear and what our physical eyes see! May Your Truth arise!!!
THANK YOU to all the men and women who have served our country! We honor you and remember your service to our country! God bless you!!
The Lord is molding and shaping us to be the Vessels of Love that He desires us to be!
Which step are you on… And what step are you getting ready to move up to?
One step at a time…
As far as an individual, I agree. But! I desire for GOD to get the credit for the accomplishments that He has completed through me!
