Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. <\/em>\u2013 James 1:17<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanksgiving is here again. At least in the US. For us, it’s all about food, family, and football<\/a>\u2026but there\u2019s also another element\u2026faith. I am grateful every day for the kindnesses of God and those he\u2019s placed in our lives. Celebrating Thanksgiving allows us to put an exclamation point on being grateful.<\/strong> It\u2019s not just about a table full of food, although food is clearly a focal point. Thanksgiving<\/strong>, even as a national holiday and not a religious one, focuses our sight beyond ourselves. There is an object in Thanksgiving beyond ourselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh\u2026just in case this Thanksgiving is a struggle\u2026and it isn\u2019t all happy family fun\u2026I pray you take courage <\/a>. I pray you can rein in your heart to remember that God sees you and loves you beyond your imagining. We can find blessing even in the struggle. You are a blessing to more than you realize…your taking the time right now to read these words is a blessing to me, and I hope right back at you.<\/p>\n

Wish you were at our table\u2026maybe one day you will be. You are definitely welcome at God\u2019s table. There’s a place for you there, and I look forward to looking into those eyes of yours, and listening to all your stories. Or we can sit in the silence of His peace. As you like.<\/p>\n

Worship<\/a> with me to Rend Collective<\/a>‘s “For All That You Have Done”<\/em> to the melody of Auld Lang Syne<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Your grace will never be forgot
Your mercy all my life
Will be my source forever song
My story and my light<\/p>\n

From mountain top to valley low
Through laughter and through tears
Surely the goodness of my God
Will follow all the years<\/p>\n

For all that You have done for us
For every battle won
We’ll raise a song to bless Your heart
For all that you have done<\/p>\n

You know our failures and regrets
You always led us home
Redemption’s arm has raised us up
Our triumph in the storm<\/p>\n

For all that You have done for us
For every battle won
We’ll raise a song to bless Your heart
For all that you have done<\/p>\n

(You’re faithful through the ages)<\/p>\n

In unity we’ll stand as one
As family we’ll go
Shoulder to shoulder
Hand in hand
Into the great unknown<\/p>\n

For all that You have done for us
For every battle won
We’ll raise a song to bless Your heart
For all that you have done*<\/p>\n
