November 9, 2011

I am up and getting ready for a 7:30 am breakfast. Audrey is up and the cats are confused. Today will be a fairly typical Wednesday, with the addition of the Veterans dinner tonight. It will be our first Wednesday night dinner since May. We will have our executive staff meeting, and we will continue preparing for tomorrow’s church conference.

Psalm 107

This Psalm ends with verse 43 “Let all who are wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the Lord.” The gist of this scripture is found in verse 1 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” As I prepare for this season of Thanksgiving, this Psalm could be a great source of teaching and inspiration. It recounts many of the ways that God has provided for his people over the years.

Last night our life group began a study of a book called The Advent Conspiracy, which is an attempt to put Christ at the heart of Christmas, and to provide an avenue for his followers to get out of the rut of consumerism. The premise of the book is pretty simple: worship fully, spend less, give more, and love all. This is a great reminder and a way to practice one’s faith in Christ during the holiday season.

Guide me today, most holy Lord in all that I do, say, think, plan, and give.
