"I thank my God in all my remembrances of you, always offering
prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in
the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He
who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
For I know that this shall turn out for my deliverance through your
prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jeus Christ, according to my earnest
expectation and home, that I shall not be put to shame in anything, but that with
all boldness, Christ shall even now, al always, be exalted in my body, whether by
life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ,
and to die is gain.
"But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted
as loss for the sake of Christ.
"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say rejoice! Let your forebearing spirit be known to all men.
The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
"And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches
in glory in Christ Jesus.
"...for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work
for His good pleasure." Selected verses from Philippines
I got the dates wrong but then two Thanksgivings in one month can't
be a wrong thing! Hope your day is special
and filled with the memory of blessings far beyond turkey and pumpkin pie.
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
Darlene
