Give Thanks!

We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing. When Bon Air Christian Church began we were very little. There was a small group of people who tried to breathe life into an old building that had not been well maintained and that was definitely showing aging pains.

On Thanksgiving Day that little group of people gathered to give thanks for all God's good gifts. It became a tradition that this community of faith gathered for a casual worship service and then shared brunch together. That tradition continues as we will gather Thanksgiving morning at 8:45 a.m. to praise God for all his blessings and then enjoy our potluck brunch together.

I just finished reading Max Lucado's book, "Anxious for Nothing." In it he talks about the importance of counting our blessings, having an attitude of gratitude and "choosing calm."

C - celebrate God's goodness.
A - ask God for help.
L - leave your concerns with God.
M - meditate on good things.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice. (Phil. 4:4)

I look forward to gathering with you, dear family of faith, and giving thanks to God. You are a blessing to me always.

Shalom,

Cindy
