Thankfulness
Count Our Blessings-Jack Blake
Friday, October 04, 2024Good Morning,
According to the scriptures, this is the day the Lord has made let us be glad and rejoice in it. Psalms 118.24. We have so much to be thankful for and yet there are many, even some disciples that will waste this day made by God to grumble, complain and worry over things far beyond their control, when what we should do is count our blessings, do good, avoid all evil and give from the heart thankfulness and praise to the holy name of God and exalt Him for the mercy, grace, kindness, patience and love He freely gives us every day.

Paul wrote in his first letter to the church at Corinth about being thankful to God and a reason why. "Thanks be to God who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong, let all you do be done with love." As Christ's disciples we must be brave and strong in the work of the Lord, spreading His gospel to others for this is God's will for us.
From 1 Corinthians 15.57-58; 1 Corinthians 16.13-14.
Labor Day 2024-Jack Blake
Monday, September 02, 2024Good Morning,
...wishing everyone a happy Labor Day 2024. Thanking all of those who labor to better our communities, the farmers who provide our food, to those who protect us and keep us safe, and to all who work and labor to make our world a better place. Let all who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love. Yes, be sober and be vigilant, because our adversary is walking about like a roaring lion to see whom he might devour.
Enjoy the day and give thanks to God for all He has blessed us with including our labor.
Being thankful, praising God-Jack Blake

Plants need food, sunlight, water and air to help them grow and sustain them. Also man's soul needs food (spiritual), the Son's light, pure living waters and God's breathed word to help us to grow in the spiritual realm and be productive in His Kingdom. Being thankful, praising God.
Be Anxious for Nothing-Jack Blake
Friday, August 16, 2024Good Morning,
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication and with thanksgiving in your heart let your tests be known to God; and let the peace of God rule in your heart; it is a peace that surpasses all understanding and guards the hearts and minds through Jesus the Christ. And learn to be content in whatever state you are in. Life is too short and precious to waste on the trivial things of the world.
From Philippians 4. 6,11.
