November 2025
“Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.”
When I was growing up my family had a friend who became like part of our family. Her name was Eva. She was a widow who lived across the street from my Granny and Gramps. I can remember her being at all major family functions as well as just there for dinner when we would go to my Granny’s for steak in mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, biscuits and of course pie for dessert.
Since Eva had no family she was part of ours. And every time she would get a gift from any of us, she would repeatedly say “Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.” Always three times. She was so grateful that someone thought of her enough to give her a gift that she was truly thankful and wanted you to know it.
This time of year we celebrate Thanksgiving as a time to be thankful for the blessings that we have. You hear on TV and other places people say that they are truly “blessed.” They may have in mind the fact that they are in good health. Or still have a job, when others are losing theirs. Or they sit back and say that “life can’t get any better than this!”.
But you and I know that we are truly blessed because of the love that we have been given by our God. We have been blessed with the gift of a Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord. Our sins have been forgiven, our lives saved from death and the power of the devil and the gift of eternal life with Him in heaven.
This November we are blessed and we have the chance to say “Thank you, Thank you, Thank you” to our family, our friends and especially God our Father. All that we have that makes our lives blessed is from Him.
Have a blessed November and enjoy your Thanksgiving.
In His Service,
