LET US BE THANKFUL

People ask me how I could possibly believe in a God I never see or hear. I smile. Then I tell them all I have to do is go outdoors and look around. I can see Him in a beautiful sunrise or breathtaking sunset. I see Him in the beauty of spring wildflowers and the rainbow that follows a storm. I see the beauty He created in the wings of a butterfly and colors of the fall season. I see Him in the sparkling water of lakes and streams. I see Him as I look over a frosted field.

I feel He is there with me under a star-lit night sky as I sit around a campfire. I feel Him in a gentle breeze blowing through the trees. He is there in the dawn’s early light when birds begin their songs, in the rolling thunder, and the honking of geese flying south for the winter. He is there when an eagle cries as it flies high in the sky. I thank Him for what I see and hear outdoors as I experience all He created. The outdoors is good for your body and your soul.

I also feel God is always at Sac River Cowboy Church. When I stand before you each Sunday and look out at all of you, He is there. God is there when we gather at the river for baptism. He is there when we lift up our prayers. He is there with our church bands as they lead us in worship songs. He is there with those that work with our children and youth. God is there with all our volunteers who do so much to make this church what it is. He is there with Scotty, Mark, Ty, and Ron as they teach us from God’s word.

Satan doesn’t like the way our church is growing. He doesn’t like it when people accept Jesus here at Sac River Cowboy Church. He will do anything he can to cause division in our church. He loves it when we complain, spread rumors, talk badly about others, and judge people. Don’t let him into our church. For heaven’s sake, don’t let him.

Let us be thankful to God this Thanksgiving and every day for His gift to us of this special place called Sac River Cowboy Church.
