Hello everyone! It is Fall.  I love this time of year because so much outside changes. Have you noticed all the leaves changing colors? It seems like every venture outdoors is full of surprises as we see God’s artistry in the natural world. It is especially beautiful when a gust of wind comes along and causes a mass of leaves to float gently to the ground. But fall also brings rain. Mud. Puddles. Increased stopping distances and treacherous driving. 

I’ve noticed that in life we have a choice. To pay attention to what is beautiful and encouraging, or pay attention to what is ugly and disappointing. I’ve also noticed that when I take the time to recount what I am grateful for and give thanks, my attitude changes. I feel better about life. And I also feel closer to the Lord. In fact, the Bible tells us that this is what God really wants for us! “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

This month we are going to focus on what we are grateful for, and we need your help! In the foyer is a box and cards for you to share what you are thankful for. Put in as many as you would like! Let’s fill it up! Also, feel free to leave a comment below regarding what you are thankful for! During the service each Sabbath we will share these notes of thanksgiving to be encouraged by God’s many blessings.
