The Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday Season

Wow! Seems like last night we were hearing “Trick or Treat!” from just outside our front door. Today we are just a few days away from Thanksgiving. So…..next week Julie and I will make our annual November trip to Texas to spend a few days with some of our family there. (I am very consciously attempting to try to lose a few pounds now, because I KNOW what will happen during those few days!)

I have so much to be thankful for. I am a blessed man. I don’t lead a life of no struggles. I’m no different than any other folks, in THAT regard anyway. But I DO lead a life of no worry. Concern, yes. Worry, no. (I’m sure you have probably heard that the difference between worry and concern is a stomach ulcer.) : ) I am also blessed to not live in fear.

I am a Christian, and I’m not ashamed of that. HE (Christ) is the reason I can live this life with no worry and no fear. I’ve learned a lot in 68 years. One thing that has really helped me is accepting what Jesus said about worry. In a nutshell He said, “Don’t. There’s no need.” Sometime in the last couple of years the Lord gave me this……

There’s nothing that will come into my life today that God is not aware of.

There’s nothing that will come into my life that God is not bigger than.

There’s nothing that will come into my life today that God won’t get me through.

God has been completely faithful to me all of my life. I have no reason not to trust him with the balance of my life. And my eternity. I hope YOU are trusting him, too. If you are, you already recognize that you, too, have much to be thankful for.

God Bless.

Happy Thanksgiving.
