Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering Gods grace in its various forms.

In Tune with the Message

Dear Friends,

I know my last post was heavy duty but know that I'm not the only one noticing these things.  And know that it doesn't take a study like The Hole in Our Gospel to figure it out.  Follow this link to Courtney's page and read her Thanksgiving post for today.  She highlights an email quote she received that illustrates how ridiculously we treat the American Dream and how given we are to the feeling of entitlement.

We need to always remember to be content with the blessings God has given us and give Him all praises.

What are YOU thankful for today?

God bless, be safe and, as always, happy knitting!

  1. Thank you for sharing my link! I read "The Hole in the Gospel" and was so deeply moved - I wrote about it here: http://womenlivingwell-courtney.blogspot.com/2009/05/book-review-hole-in-our-gospel.html

    It is an excellent book that everyone should read - it really was a deal changer - especially the analogy of the starfish washed ashore. As he threw one in he said " I may not be able to save them all but it made a difference to that one." That quote has stuck with me!

    Keep walking with the King and making a difference!
    Courtney
