Chaplain's Corner
Post 43 Chaplain Donna Callaway
This week and on Thanksgiving, let us be thankful. Thankful for family, for the helpers, for the good. Thankful for life and the blessings that we have in our lives. Let us look for at least one thing to be thankful for every day. There is so much more to be thankful for than you probably realize if you look closely! Focus on all the good this week and holiday season, and watch as gratitude begins to fill your days.
Let us also continue to gladly serve one another and our community. For by serving, we not only meet others' needs and bring them something to be thankful for, but we also gain joy ourselves through lifting up others.
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
A Psalm for giving thanks.
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. ”
Have a blessed Thanksgiving Legion family!
