Thanksgiving 2007

I'm thankful for many things this year:

• Family - that we can get along and make tough decisions during difficult times
• Friends - what would I have done without our small group and the incredible staff I work with
• Faith - how can anyone go through difficulty and uncertainty in life without faith? The difference may be that without faith you survive but with faith you can thrive. That's not a trite statement to me. It's real in my life.

Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

This weekend we're going to talk about how God grows a thankful heart in us. One of his methods is prayer. This week I pray that you will pray and remember to be thankful - for we have far more to be thankful for that we have concerns about.

Have a great thanksgiving Cornerstone Church!
