GIVE THANKS!

Colossians 1:3 – Devotional

Colossians 1:3

“We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.”

A day of thanksgiving is set aside in many nations. Here in the United States it is on the 4th Thursday in November. (That’s today). At least ten other countries have days of celebration set aside to give thanks.

As my mind goes back over fifty years and the year I spent in Newfoundland, I think of the different days and ways people from other nations (who were there in service to their nation or serving in the Grenfell Hospital in St. Anthony, gave thanks.

It was a blessing to thank God for His tender mercies to us even though many tears were shed because we were separated from our loved ones back home. Those days reminded me that our sorrow of separation is always temporary. There will come a time when we will wipe away all of our tears in a joyous reunion!

This Thanksgiving Day I ask you, wherever you are to thank God for His wonderful blessings. Especially give the Lord thanks that He has given us eternal life and victory through our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ!

Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
