Santa Paula Church of Christ – Giving Thanks
1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, ... 2 Give thanks to the God of gods... 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. Psalm 136::1-3.
With “Thanksgiving” quickly approaching we have the opportunity, once again to sit and ponder so many things to be thankful for: our lives, our health, our families, our homes, our jobs etc.
Psalm 136 reminds us that when we do give thanks, it is God and Jesus whom we should be thankful for. The Psalm resonates as a vignette and refrain. The vignette: “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.” The refrain: “His love endures forever.” If you read the Psalm with this in mind, it is a good spiritual discipline on how to read the Psalm. This is what we will do on November 25, during a Thanksgiving Sermon. Although, the Thanksgiving Holiday may force some of us to pay more attention to “giving thanks” we don’t have to wait until that day to give thanks, we can start today.
My prayer this month is that we can all become a people who are appreciative and be thankful every day. Take a moment to read Psalm 136. Begin each verse with the vignette “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,” then see how this exchange of reading the Psalm will brighten your day and others around you.
If you are interested in learning more the joy of thanksgiving, please come visit our church this Sunday. Although the sermon topic is on forgiveness (Matt. 18:21), by coming it would be a form of “Thanksgiving” to God. One of our own members, Rey Jimenez Jr. will preach. Thank you, Rey. We are hoping that you and your family can be our special guests during our service and stay for our luncheon immediately following.
The Santa Paula Church of Christ are located at 276 W. Santa Paula Street, (across from the cemetery). Our Spanish service begins at 9:00 a.m. and our English service at 10:45 a.m. Our Women’s Bible Study is on November 15 at 6:00 p.m.
God Bless you,
