Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm sure most of us heard some good messages and got lots of reminders yesterday about the importance of giving thanks. Shirley and I just want to share a few words to say how thankful we are to the Lord for all the good gifts He continually showers on our lives.
These blessings would be similar to the ones that most of you will rehearse over this weekend - family, friends, daily bread, a roof over our heads, a great country to live in, health...
Ah yes, health. There's nothing like a health threat to make you appreciate the blessing of good health which we have enjoyed, and continue to enjoy, each day. Except for a bit of a stiff neck, I have no manifestations of the disease which the scans tell us is at work on the inside.
I have often said over the years "every new morning is a gift from God". The truth of that has never meant more than it does these days. I have great confidence in the promises of God which include physical healing. But whatever He has in mind, the greatest confidence I have is that my life is hid with Christ in God. "Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing causes them to stumble." (Psa. 199.165) Happy thanksgiving, indeed! KEN
