T.G.I. FRIDAY

1 Thessalonians 5:18 - "In everything, give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank God, it's Friday!

And for most of us, this is doubly special because it is PAYDAY!

Time to bond again with our friends and families, with special dinner and some drinking.  Not bad, as long as we take it in moderation.

And as we delve into this "Friday" thing, let us not forget to give thanks to the Lord for all the wonderful things He has done for us.

How about a short prayer of thanksgiving?  How about a short trip to a church, kneel and then pray, blessing and thanking God for surviving another week?

May we never forget to thank God in everything that we do.  "For everything created by God is good; and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer (1 Timothy 4:4-5)."

+ Let us pray:  Lord God, thank you for everything!  Great is Your name and we praise and adore You.  We thank you for the things that continue to make us well, for things that make us closer to You.  May we never forget that all of these came from You, and so we all give them back to You.  Amen +
