Post Thanksgiving

“Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be UNTO HIM that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” Revelations 5:13

“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful, UNTO HIM and bless his name.” Psalms l00:5

My heart is overflowing with praise this morning as I write this weekly letter to my church family and friends. I pray that it will be an encouragement to you to give praise unto Him for all he has done for you as well. Several years ago I ran across something that I have kept in my office and today, I want to share it with you as you read this letter. It is alphabet of personal prayers and it applies to all of us.

These prayers remind me of why I am so thankful for His watch care over our lives. They are sometimes just faint utterances; at other times heartfelt petitions and person- al pleas. In other instances they are just humble mutterings but prayers none the less; as well as faith filled earnest appeals to heaven.

On another note, I thank you for your faithfulness to our faithful God. You are on my heart and in my prayers.
