--Dear Friends,

Greetings in Jesus' Name.

--What are you thankful for today? Look around you at the many blessings that you have. Some of them may be obscure, like the sensitivity in your fingers that allows you to feel temperatures, textures and pressure. Other blessings may be more obvious -- family and friends are a tremendous blessing from God. - Everyone has something to be thankful for, regardless of where we are or who we are. No person is so destitute as to have nothing to be thankful for.

As Christians we have much to be thank for... We are blessed by knowing that we are loved by our Savior, Jesus. Many of us will gather with loved ones during the upcoming holidays. Hopefully, most of us will pause and verbally express our thankfulness.

While we enjoy our blessings, there will be many people who seem to go unnoticed--possibly even unloved. There are many homeless and poor around us. Many suffer daily from the loss of family and friends. How are we being a blessing to them? In Matthew 25, as Jesus was teaching about our service to Him, He told us that whatever we do unto the least of all, we do unto Him.

This year as we stop to consider our blessings, let's think about those who do not know our Lord Jesus. We have the opportunity to share with them every day, and the more we share, the more our cup will be filled.

Let's be sure to share the love and light of Jesus to a lost and dying world. --
Following the Shepherd. ,
