We won’t be posting a Family Devotion or Pastors of the Round Table this week! We hope that you will spend time with family and friends over the next couple of days, whether in-person or virtually at distance. It is good to give thanks to the Lord for the things that He has gifted us: His free gifts of mercy and grace, His Word to dwell in us and His Spirit’s guidance. When we have thankfulness in our hearts to God, our attention shifts from ourselves to Him; from only thinking of ourselves to serving one another in love.

¹² Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, ¹³ bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. ¹⁴ And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. ¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ¹⁷ And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. – Colossians 3:12-17

Happy Thanksgiving!

Pastor Matt
