Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

By Dunford Cole

Happy Thanksgiving! It is often said that “gratitude is the memory of the heart.” What a beautiful reminder of the many blessings we receive. As you come together with loved ones during this special time, take a moment to express your thanks to God for all you have and what you may lack. While reflecting on the spirit of Thanksgiving, here are some important blessings that we might overlook:       

– God’s grace and compassion 

– The love of family and friends 

– Good health 

– Nourishing food and clean water        

– Employment opportunities 

– Access to education 

– A safe and secure home 

– The gift of freedom 

– A sense of peace 

– Our community 

– Our church

May this Thanksgiving be a time of heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for all the good in our lives.

May God abundantly bless you.
