November is a good month for reflecting over all the things to which we can offer our thanks to the Lord. There's a lot to distress over these days, but there is also so much to be thankful for. We live in a great country - a country that allows us religious freedom to worship how we want. Many countries around the world do not have this right. God has blessed America time and time again and I believe He will continue to do so as long as we keep praising and thanking Him.

Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God

I'm thankful for the wonderful school I work for and for its ministry to the children. God still continues to bless our small school. A lot of teachers and even a few of our college students get together every Thursday and Friday morning to pray for the school and the kids. I have noticed in the few, short years I have been with MSOA, that as long as we keep our focus on glorifying Him, He continues to bless us.

Psalm 118:29

 

Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

I am thankful for so many things, but I am most thankful for God's gift of love to us, in His son Jesus Christ. This thanksgiving, let us all give thanks to the Lord. His name is wonderful; He's Master of everything!

Psalm 30:4

 

Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
