Have a Joyful, Prayerful Thanksgiving Day!



            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  JOYFUL THANKSGIVING DAY!

            Many of us are planning to be with family or friends for our Thanksgiving celebration.  Odds are there will be lots of food, fun and fellowship in homes throughout our country.  But let’s not forget that there are those who have no family with whom to share a meal...and some truly will have little or no food…much less a feast that many of us take for granted.  Today may be just another day for some who have to work; others may dread the holidays because they have lost a loved one and can’t bear to face the days alone.

            In other words, while “joy” and laughter may come easily & be plentiful for many of us today, there are other people who need our prayers for strength, comfort and provision. As we thank God for our many blessings on this Thanksgiving 2017, let’s remember to stand in the gap for others who are not in a good place today.

            1 Timothy 2:1 is a good verse to read on this Thanksgiving Day…reminding us to pray:

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—“

“ALL people”, the scripture says.  Those whom we love, those we have a hard time getting along with, those we don’t even know!  We are to pray for ALL people.  What a joyous privilege it should be to know that when we take our petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving before the Lord….HE HEARS!

            Have a blessed Thanksgiving! And let’s remember to pray for ALL people!
