To all the wonderful people of Grace House, I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. May God's peace and grace be upon you richly. You are an awesome congregation and I feel so honored to serve with you. How grateful I am to walk into an atmosphere every time we gather and know that God's love and presence fill the place. All of you are amazing. You realize the importance of loving God and people. Our leaders are so supportive, faithful, and flexible. I do not take this precious environment of acceptance, mercy, and love for granted. It is such a gift of God to us.
We have so much to be thankful for as a church family. Last night at our fellowship meal, I so enjoyed seeing all the people interacting, talking, laughing and enjoying each other. I loved seeing our ARK family and GRACE HOUSE families enjoying each other as well.
God has enlarged and enriched us all. We have seen His mighty hand touch so many lives in these past months. We have witnessed His presence powerfully in our services. We have received His grace over and over again.
We are so blessed to live in the USA where we have the freedoms we do. The other day I walked into one of the large grocery stores where food filled the place from floor to ceiling and I thought, "Wow what a country to live in and what a God to serve!" We are blessed.
Sometime on Thursday, whether with family, friends, or just by yourself, take some special time just to thank Father God for His many blessings. But be careful, you just might praise your way into a revival atmosphere. Yeah, let's do it!
Mikki, our children, and I say to you, "Happy Thanksgiving!"
Blessings,
Pastor Eddie
PS - See you Sunday. Let's all come praised up and ready to worship!
