HOW TO PREPARE FOR A GREAT THANKSGIVING

What would be an adequate thanksgiving to offer God for all the joy we experience before him…?
1 Thessalonians 3:9 (TM)

LIVE YOUR LIFE KNOWING THAT….

1. YOU ARE PRICELESS BECAUSE JESUS LOVES YOU

God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.
John 3:16 (CEV)

To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end, to them I will give authority over all the nations. 28They will have the same authority I received from my Father, and I will also give them the morning star! 29“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.
Revelation 2:26, 28-29 (NLT)

2. YOU ARE GOD’S SPECIAL AGENT FOR GREAT BLESSINGS AND MIRACLES

You'll not likely go wrong here if you keep remembering that our Master said, 'You're far happier giving than getting.'
Acts 20:35 (TM)

I, Paul, am under God's plan as an apostle, a special agent of Christ Jesus, writing to you faithful believers in Ephesus. I greet you with the grace and peace poured into our lives by God our Father and our Master, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 1:1 (TM)

3. EVERY DAY IS YOUR SPECIAL DAY

When Jesus got to the tree, he looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, hurry down. Today is my day to be a guest in your home." Zacchaeus scrambled out of the tree, hardly believing his good luck, delighted to take Jesus home with him.
LUKE 19:5 (TM)

4. YOU’RE OPPORTUNITY IS NOW!

Look instead for what God can do. We need to be energetically at work for the One who sent me here, working while the sun shines. When night falls, the workday is over. For as long as I am in the world, there is plenty of light. I am the world's Light."
John 9:4 (TM)

Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (TM)

Since everything here today might well be gone tomorrow, do you see how essential it is to live a holy life? Daily expect the Day of God, eager for its arrival. The galaxies will burn up and the elements melt down that day—but we'll hardly notice. We'll be looking the other way, ready for the promised new heavens and the promised new earth, all landscaped with righteousness.
2 Peter 3:11-13 (tm)
