November 27 Connection

A message from Pastor Maria

While driving the other day, I saw a sign:

THANKSGIVING 2020?:
YEAH… GIVE THANKS ANYWAY

I appreciated that! Like many people, you may not be feeling particularly thankful on Thanksgiving weekend this year, and that’s fair. Hospitals are full, we weren’t able to gather for Thanksgiving dinner the way we did last year…it’s easy to get down about things right now.

But in the midst of our lament, we hear the words of Psalm 118:24:“This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

When we remember that this is the day the Lord has made, we realize there are things to be thankful for. The sun came up today! That’s something to be thankful for! You woke up today! That’s something to be thankful for! Click for more from Pastor Maria…
