A Day of Thanks

-


A lot of times when you don't have something you want or took for granted, you may get depressed.  During those times you have to remember to thank God for the little things. Most important you are alive to see another day. God gives what we need and not always what we want.

I Thessalonians 5:18 - Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

I Chronicles 16:34 - Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

On this Thanksgiving 2018, I am most thankful for being free. I had gotten into trouble and it worked out for the best. Although I have some income I was homeless. Now I'm renting a room in a beautiful townhouse in Richmond, Virginia.  God is always right on time.

I finally want to thank the Henrico County Jail food staff workers and inmates who prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  They were  Heaven in hell so to speak.

I'm not trying to get the big head and puff myself up but to accomplish the goal of witnessing for Christ. The Great Commission Matthew 28:16  Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.   17  When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.   18  Then Jesus came to them and sai...

DON'T LISTEN TO THAT VOICE

 Whenever you try to do something positive, do you have a negative thought like "This is pointless, or nobody cares about this?" I want this blog and this community to be a success. I can't listen to that voice that the devil says it's pointless. I have no idea who is reading this. I could say something that will help someone. One person.  Of course, I'm not  Jesus, but he was walking with a crowd around him, and someone touched him and was healed. He did not know who it was but knew power had left him. This message isn't just for you, readers. This is for me. I have stopped and started this blog again and again. I MUST NOT STOP!!!. And there's another thing I need to recognize. This is not a popularity contest. If the stats are low, that should not deter me. I am going to a church now where the pastor, his wife, and I are the only ones regularly there. See the picture above. Look at the empty seats. That has not stopped this pastor. And he has really fixe...
