A Word from Pastor Abrams
I greet you this month with lively hope! The hope of glory! It is by the grace and mercies of Almighty God that we have entered into November 2021. Thanks be unto God.
Fall and the month of November are a time of Thanksgiving, and we have many things to give God thanks for and be grateful for! There are people, places, and tangible things, and there are people, places, and intangible things, yet all are worthy of our thanks. Indeed, in all things, we should give thanks.
Today, we thank God for our family members, friends, associates who are present with us, our church family, community, homes, and jobs. Also, we thank God as we remember those dear souls who have gone on before us and now rest in the bosom of our Heavenly Father. For we know to be absent with the body is to be present with the Lord.
We treasure the memories of the people, places, and things that have made such an indelible impression upon us and within us. They have contributed such love, wisdom, support, and guidance to shape us into the people we are becoming. And again, we thank God for what HE is doing in each one of us, individually as people of the Most High God and collectively as the Body of Christ.
In this season of Thanksgiving, may we continue to treasure the presence and memories of all those who touch or have touched our lives. May we always be grateful to God for His grace and tender mercies! Remembering the words of Paul in Philippians, as he states,
