Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings to one and all. In the midst of life and the harsh reality of daily living, it is sometimes difficult to get an objective perspective on what's really going on. Perceptions are created and decisions made contingent on the ebb and flow of the surrounding circumstances. Experience has taught me this is dangerous as I need to step back for a proper assessment of life predicated on the Scripture of God's Holy Word. Only the Sovereign Lord has complete knowledge of and infinite wisdom to discern life as we live it out here on earth. Thanksgiving isn't simply a holiday one day in November...it is a daily lifestyle of true gratitude for God's many blessings and acts of grace and mercy. More than getting a "want" or having a "need" satisfied, I am truley grateful for those things in life I didn't get, which is what mercy really is. Grace is getting what I don't deserve. Mercy is not getting what I do dese
