Devot./Sermon/Song and Article

Hi Folks,

 

I hope you had a very blessed Thanksgiving and each of us are thinking more seriously about how we can start to count our blessings, even little ones, though our day.  

 

I have several things of interest below: 

 

1.  A devot. encouraging the cultivation of a thankful/grateful spirit and why we should work on this area in our life.

 

2.  A sermon my mom and I watched Sunday on the same subject.   It's short, but spiritually power packed and it hits the nail on the head that we should cultivate a thankful heart!

 

3.  A link to my favorite Thanksgiving song which runs along the same vein:)

 

I also have an email article below on the young man that was killed last week by Indians on a remote island in India.

The news media makes him seem like he's a nut, but the article below gives a clear picture of this man, and the his heart he had for telling folks about Jesus.    He reminds me of missionary, Jim Elliot and how he gave his life in the exact same way:

Read this article above when you have a chance and look at the short video given in the story on what happened after Jim was martyred..   AMAZING is all I can say....have to see the video to see what I mean, but God can bring eternal beauty out of the ashes!

 

I hope you have super and blessed week as you count and see all the blessings God has given you!

November 21, 2018   Christian Martyr: John Allen Chau John Allen Chau, a Covenant Journey alumni, was martyred on November 17 by the Sentinelese tribal people on the island of North Island. "When I heard the news of John's death, I couldn't believe it. I was numb. John loved people, and he loved Jesus. He was willing to give his life to share Jesus with the people on North Sentinel island," said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Covenant Journey.
