Who do you need to thank? Who deals with all of your "stuff, attitudes, habits" and the like? Who continues to be gracious to you when you do not deserve it? Who loves you even when...?
Who provides services for you? Who provides care for your children at school? Who bags your groceries? Who serves you food at home or at restaurants? Who provides safety in the city? Who keeps the "enemy" at bay by serving in the military? Who serves you when you cash a check at the bank? Who puts out the fires when they blaze out of control?
Who provides lessons for your children in Bible classes? Who offers you times to learn and grow in your spiritual walk? Who studies during the week to offer you insight into God and godly life? Who prepares communion on Sunday? Who makes sure the sound is just right? Who makes sure the visual effects for the songs and lesson work correctly? Who cleans the building to prepare it for your arrival? Who greets you as you walk through the doors? Who helps find you a seat as the crowds swell? Who practices songs so that the harmony and message are glitch free?
Today,I was reminded to be thankful as 3 very talented women came to the building on a 102 degree day to decorate the stage, hallway and lobby for the new message series that begins Sunday. They do not want accolades. They serve because they love God and the community at North County.
May we be more thankful in all things. May we stop more often and appreciate those who provide for us, love us and serve us.
Who do you need to thank?
Hey Randy. I am thankful for you and your wonderful wife. Seems like everything you do lifts my spirits. Thank you!
