The Greatest Thanksgiving Blessing of All!
Numbers 6:23-26 “Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel (and all Israel’s grafted in siblings). You shall say to them: the Lord bless you, and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.”
The greatest blessing for: Hanukkah, and Christmas, and Birthday, and… oh yeah for sure… EVERY DAY (Psalm 118:24 let us rejoice and be glad in it.) the LORD HAS MADE blessing.
What better way to show you I care.
I can cook for you. I can give you trinkets and such. I can hug and love on you. I can definitely spend time with you and tell you over and over again how grateful I am (and I AM!) for God’s gift of you.
I can, will and joyfully do these things!
But… none of them will be enough. They all will loose their “shine” and none of them will last until the next holiday installment reminds me to give again.
This Thanksgiving I want to say THANK YOU with the treasure that neither moth nor rust destroys, and where the thieves of sin do not break in or steal (Matthew 6:20) the LOVE.
This Thanksgiving I shout with all that is in me…
May the Lord bless you, and keep you.
May the Lord make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.
The thing is… before the day even comes, before the food is prepared and stuffed into our bellies, before this prayer is even shouted whispered…
It. Is. Done!
Can you “see” it? I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened. So that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. (Ephesians 1:18-19)
I pray… that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:16-19)
I pray you are blessed!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
