From Gary... My own little rainbow of blessing


I have heard it said that there are blessings at the end of the rainbow.  Others say that there is a pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow.  But, what about a very small rainbow? What about my rainbow, my blessings?  On this Thanksgiving day be sure to take time to thank God for our blessings. Now, we may have much or perhaps even very little in this world, but our rainbow (that is, OUR BLESSINGS) still abound. Consider this...

Ephesians, Chapter 1 (WEB)
3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ; 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love;  5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,  6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved,  7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,  8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,  9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him  10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;  11 in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;  12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:  13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,  14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
Those of us who are in Christ we are blessed beyond measure!!!  So, TODAY, BEFORE YOU GIVE THANKS FOR THE FOOD- Remember the blessings we have that are of a SPIRITUAL NATURE!!!  The food we enjoy today will supply us with the nourishment we need for the here-and-now, but God has given us blessings that will last FOREVER; and FOREVER is A very, very long time!!!!
