During this season of Thanksgiving, there are many reasons to be thankful. Of course, we should always give thanks to God for the numerous physical blessings He showers upon us. May we never forget that every good gift is possible because of Him and is provided by Him. We are thankful for the blessing of family. If we are allowed to sit and enjoy meals, games, & fellowship with friends or family this week, we are richly blessed.
On top of these, we have numerous spiritual blessings for which we can be thankful. One of the richest aspects of these spiritual blessings is our association with preachers of the Word of God around the world. When we thank our God during this season you dear brothers who are our comrades in arms will be a significant part of our gratitude. We are thankful for preachers for numerous reasons. Here are just a few.
Thank you for your commitment to preaching the entire council of God.
Thank you for the numerous hours you spend in study and preparation.
Thank you for the time you spend in prayer about your preaching.
Thank you for the sacrifices you make to preach the Word and to minister to others. We know that there are financial sacrifices, family sacrifices, and personal sacrifices that each of you make. Please know that they do not go unnoticed.
Thank you for the numerous visits you make to encourage those who are sick, weak, alone, and aging. Thank you for the Bible studies you conduct, the meetings you attend, and the ministries you support.
Thank you for giving your heart, your time, and your life to the Lord as well as to His people. Thank you for caring for people, for sharing the Word, for loving the Lord, and for supporting all that is good.
