It is Thanksgiving time; and I personally give thanks to the Lord every day. We all should. But this is the special time of year when we reflect upon the goodness of the Lord and all the many blessing we have and the lives and things He has entrusted to our care.
It's also a time to get together with our loving family and friends. And with the miles that separate us for most of the year, it takes an effort to maintain these close ties. But in our family, it has been so worth it - to travel each year for joy-filled reunions and to celebrate the milestones, the accomplishments, and this year the miraculous births of our preemie twin grandsons William and Jackson.
We are so incredibly blessed. When we look into the eyes of these little ones who are thriving and doing so well, we know that God has great and awesome plans - a bright hope and a future for us all. We who are born again have eternal life - and the life we live in this world is so brief in comparison with eternity we have to look forward to - being with our Savior and Lord forever!
So we thank Him today, tomorrow, on Thanksgiving... and forever. We place a hedge of protection around our lives, and say "Thank you, Lord."
Right now, we see through a glass - as the Bible says - "darkly" or "dimly." Sometimes the view of the future isn't as clear or bright as we would like to see it, but we know Who holds the future, and we are in His care.
Lord Jesus, we give You all the glory.
