Overview: All believers are saved by God’s grace. Faith that our names are written in the Book of Life, and the Lamb’s Book of Life are proof that we will see Jesus someday. Let’s rejoice and remind ourselves and others that salvation is by no other name than that of Jesus. When we falter in living the way God commanded us, let’s ask Him to make us clean and pure so that we can lovingly be able to help others when they fall into calamities. God is all knowing. He does not want us to be overly concerned about these troubling times. Instead, let’s delight in Him, trust Him and wait patiently for Him to judge all matters.

Thoughts from Sister Clovia Thompson –
For These We Are Thankful
There are so many things to make life bright and gay. Things that makes us sing songs of praise this glad Thanksgiving and every day.
Jesus is a gift of love that can’t be bought or sold. It is ours just for the asking — it is worth far more than gold.
His name is above all names. His mission is to save us from our sin. And for this we will always be grateful and every day we will win.
So let’s take God’s gift of love. Just reach out and receive Him. The only payment that God asks is just that we believe.
Let’s share God’s gift of love to those who want us to fall. We have freedom from worry as we use every opportunity to do His call.
For these and many more we bring no price to pay — yet all these things are ours this glad Thanksgiving and every day.
