Philippians 4:4-7: HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Philippians 4:4-7: Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, 
rejoice!  Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and 
supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and 
the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your 
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

Good morning!

Today is my favorite holiday! I am thankful for many things.  So 
thankful for God and His promises.  So thankful for my family and friends 
God has placed in my life.  And I am especially thankful today for 
two good kidneys.  After almost 6 months of testing I am scheduled 
for surgery on 12/12/17 to donate a kidney to a friend's daughter.  
Many others have tried to donate but very hard to find a match for 
Lisa.  The doctors at Emory in Atlanta said it is "A God Thing" that I 
am a perfect match for Lisa.  Lisa and I found out about the 
surgery date on Tuesday of this week.  Lisa said, "Thank you for the 
gift of life.  This is the best Thanksgiving and Christmas present 
ever!".  I am so excited for us too!  More details later :) 

Phil 4:4-7. Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, 
rejoice!  Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and 
supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and 
the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your 
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

Nothing tends more to promote health of body and of soul than 
does a spirit of gratitude and praise. It is a positive duty to 
resist melancholy, discontented thoughts and feelings--as much a duty 
as it is to pray. If we are heaven-bound, how can we go as a band 
of mourners, groaning and complaining all along the way to our 
Father's house?  Ministry of Healing p 251 

Pastor Dave had a marvelous sermon on Thanksgiving last week.  
This was a slide he showed.  This man was robbed many years ago and 
this is what he wrote in his personal diary that day. 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Love, Rebekah

I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, 
because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, 
because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth because 
it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed. (Matthew Henry)
