Juliette Update!
Most of you may have seen the email yesterday about the update for Juliette. We have no more news for today, but rather, just a call for a reminder to pray for all involved. This is not how it should be and not how it is.
Other Prayer Requests
Many times we receive prayer requests from people and our response is, "I'll pray for you!" Why not, instead of saying we'll pray for them, stop right then and pray WITH them? And now, as you've received this notice, why not say a pray for the people you know and the people who need prayer.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a time not to thank your family and friends - although we should do that too - but it's really a time to acknowledge God's provision for us throughout the year. To be thankful to someone more powerful, more knowledgeable, more present, and more capable than you. We no longer fight the extremes to survive like the pilgrims had to. They celebrated because of all that came, there were now less than half remaining. They truly felt like they were one of the absolute most fortunate.
But shouldn't we feel that way too? How many times has God preserved us while we rode in our cars? How thankful for our job are we, that helps us survive the day-to-day? How close have we come to cancer this last year? How many people do we know that haven't survived spiritually this last year.
Why not take a moment around your Thanksgiving table with family and friends and let them know why you are thankful for what God has done in your life?
