Practical Keys to Contentment
by Brent Madaris
Did you know that contentment is a biblical life-goal?
See *1 Timothy 6:6, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
Godliness (in its practical aspect) is making God the practical priority of your life by consistently practicing principles that draw you closer to Him and allow Him to manifest Himself through you. Contentment is a state of mind in which no aid or support is needed. It is a mind that is satisfied, rested, and at peace with its lot in life. Fundamentally, contentment is a condition of the heart. Godliness with contentment is a source of “great gain.”
For all of us, men and women, the Bible states in 1 Timothy 6:7–8 7, “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” It is not complex. Contentment is not based on what you have, how much you have, or how much you do. Why should godliness with contentment be a primary life goal? Shouldn’t education, material success, and marital happiness be paramount? While none of these goals are inherently wrong, they are secondary to godliness and contentment. Secondary goals are legitimate as long as they are accompanied by godliness and contentment.
Paul’s argument for godliness and contentment centers upon the fundamental equality of mankind and the temporary nature of physical things. At birth, everyone arrives completely dependent upon the care and resources of another. At death, every physical advantage disappears. Death is the great equalizer. The temporary enjoyment of affluence ceases forever at death.
Because all men are equal at the moment of death, it only makes sense to live life satisfied with what you have. Since basic necessities (food and clothing) sustain life, we should be satisfied when our basic needs are met. We should view everything beyond basic necessities as the richest of blessings!
Rather than concentrating on the accumulation of physical possessions, Christians should focus on their relationship with Christ and be content with their current lot in life. It is not wrong to have secondary goals: career
advancement, purchasing a home, etc. as long as godliness and contentment marks every step of the way. It is wrong to have basic necessities met (and a lot more) and to live in continual dissatisfaction and covetousness.
Let me give you some practical keys to contentment:
• Keep your expectations low, and life will have many pleasant surprises.
• See the abundance all around you.
• Develop a grateful/thankful heart.
• Be satisfied in the Lord and the blessings He has given.
• Obey God’s Word/follow its teachings in your daily life.
• Discipline yourself to be satisfied with exactly what you have at this very moment.
• Place your entire existence (past/present/future) in his care.
• Discover the will of God for your life. This alone solves many problems and simplifies many choices.
• Focus on the promise of the Lord’s abiding presence (He will guide you and satisfy you Himself!)
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5).

NFinancial Factors for This Fall
Money Matters
Rick Hughes with
Driven by a passion to educate, inform and prepare future retirees, Mr. Hughes founded Hughes Retirement Group in 2007. His main interest is helping his clients in reducing their taxes.
ovember is a monumental month for us. Election day is November 5th, which will yield us a new president. The Feds will meet again November 6th – 7th, which could have impacts to the economy and rates, and it marks the mid-way point of the 4th quarter of 2024. Ironically enough, it is also a time for us to celebrate Thanksgiving, a time whose original purpose was intended to celebrate gratitude and unity. There has been much division amongst our country during this election year. As we move forward with our newly elected president, it seems a good time to remind ourselves of how post-election developments can directly impact your retirement planning and financial security.
Investment portfolio volatility is most likely the first thing to come to mind as these fluctuations are the easiest way to see an impact to your retirement plans. These, however, are usually short-term effects of the election and shouldn’t be a factor that we use in making long-term planning decisions or account changes. What follows in the months after the election will be what needs to be monitored and evaluated with your financial advisor.
Changes to tax policy will be one of the biggest factors to actively monitor and discuss with your advisor. Higher tax brackets will mean lower net income. Lower net income will reduce spending, which could impact various economic areas. Lower tax brackets would be viewed to have the opposite effect. Changes to capital gains tax could cause people to try and sell assets before a higher rate goes into effect, which would have a short-term impact on stock markets and stock pricing. Any of these types of changes would have a direct impact on how and when you withdraw money from your retirement assets. If you are
currently saving for retirement, it could also impact how much you can continue to save towards retirement.
Social Security and Medicare policy changes also have a substantial impact on retirement planning. Changes that could be made to eligibility benefits and how these programs are funded could directly impact every current retiree and everyone nearing retirement and when they may be able to retire. These programs and their funding have a direct correlation with the national deficit so how the new president and controlling party address this will have to be closely monitored to determine its effects on retirement.
With any election period, the full impact of these policy changes will depend on the specifics of the legislation, how effectively they are implemented, and the broader economic conditions at the time. Given these potential impacts, it's important for individuals to regularly review and adjust their retirement plans in response to political and economic changes, ensuring they remain aligned with their financial goals. Diversification, staying informed about policy changes, and consulting with your financial advisor can help navigate these uncertainties effectively.
Reach out to our office today to begin drawing up your Retirement Playbook so that Hughes Retirement Group can begin developing your game plan and coaching you through your retirement season.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving month, we would like you to join us at Hughes Retirement Group in continuous prayer for those affected by recent hurricanes. It will fade from the news with all the things happening in this world but we, as a community, can still commit to coming together to pray for and help provide what is needed for our neighbors to begin to heal from such tragedy and devastation.
ò0 dNews for Men What Are You Full Of?
by Paul McGuire
Every man is usually full of himself: looks, appearance (clothing), opinions, what he thinks others think of him, and so on and so on.
God doesn't care for those things. Of course, He knows of them but He understands that those things are of the flesh, the natural man, and the natural life.
The Lord shares this message: But I have called you, I have redeemed you, not for that natural life to grow better and better. True, some things will get better when a person comes to Me and is rescued by redemption. But life will still stink, sometimes! I'm
The Lord came in Jesus to give remedy for that issue once and for all.
He did not come for nothing. This was no whim! For, from all eternity, this great pivotal act has been His plan and Jesus' purpose. This is why there is a Jesus: that God Himself might in His own way and by His own standards, pay the unpayable price, and redeem His own creation back to Himself.
John 3:16 KJV tells us, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
not fixing everything in the world so you can live a life of ease, a life free of trouble. That has nothing to do with being My servant.
Jesus lived life as it actually was with stinky conditions, smelly people, no running water, and no plumbing. People rejected His offer of love and redemption. There was violence and brutality dispensed by Rome. It was brutal.
We hear some of this in Isaiah 53:3 KJV, “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”
But Jesus didn't come to end that. There is a worse thing than no nail clippers: There is dying without knowing Him!
Compared to this purpose, God cares nothing for this earth. He can – He will – make another, perfect, unpolluted by sin with no devil, no evil, no darkness. He could create an earth with only God on the throne. You will love it. It is what the human heart cries out for.
Phooey on expensive vehicles, exotic living conditions, and expensive stuff! There is so much better to be had! In His eternal Kingdom...well, you'll just have to wait and see, my child. But, boy! It's good.
Enjoy this life as you will. Remember that it is fragile and fleeting. Especially, remember what God holds for those who love Him exceeds your imagination by “light-years”. But for any man to experience even a small portion of this treasure-land, he and she must know the Lord, must come to the Lord. Those who know Him, tell them of Him. He'll do the other part.
Can you do this for Him? You will, won't you? The Lord has shown and proven His love for you.
And prove God on this: He'll make the way – every time!

Rise And Shine
by Mandy Harmon
Here's the deal: don’t quit! If you can, just keep rising every morning, you will get to see God shining through. You see, I’ve struggled with several addictions for over 29 years. I was molested when I was young, and before I realized it, I had been in abusive/ codependent relationships through the years. My life was nearly taken when I was mistakenly shot while I was pregnant! When the devil wanted me to quit, wanted me to throw in the towel, I didn’t quit. I rose up! My desire is that God would take my mess and make it His message.
Here are some of the Bible verses that became dear to me through my recovery:
Psalms 34:4 TPT
“Listen to my testimony I cried to God in my distress and He answered me. He freed me from all my fears. gaze upon Him, join your life with His, and joy will come. your faces will glisten with glory. you’ll never wear that shameface again. when I had nothing desperate and defeated. I cried out to the lord and he heard me, bringing his miracle deliverance when I needed it most.”
Psalms 86:15
“My friend, when people give up on you, and even when you give up on yourself, I want to assure you that God has not given up on you. He sent His son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for your sins and this God of grace will never give up on you”
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future”
Isaiah 40:31 KJV
“but they that wait upon the lord will renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not faint.”
Deuteronomy 30:3 The Message
“God your God will restore everything you lost. He’ll have compassion on you. He’ll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered.”
Ezra 10:4
“Rise up, take courage, and do it.”
On May 14, 2007, in Floyd County Jail, I gave my whole heart and life to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have to thank God for my parents who raised me in church because I knew who to turn to. Proverbs 22:6 says “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” I was in jail for 91 days. That’s a lot of time for me to reflect on my life and what I had done to my family. You know though, I had found peace. It was a peace I had never known before. The hole inside of me had been filled with the Holy Spirit and my life could finally begin.
Psalm 86:15 says “My friend, when people give up on you, and even when you give up on yourself, I want to assure you that God has not given up on you. He sent His son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for your sins and this God of grace will never give up on you.”
Even through the recovery process, our family faced significant loss and pain with miscarriages, the passing of dear loved ones, as well as disappointments and setbacks.
I am learning each and every day how to face difficulties by relying on the Lord and standing on His word. I will hold my head up high and straighten my crown because I am a child of the King who is not moved by this world for my God goes before me. I do not fear because I am His! So don’t quit. Keep rising and shining!
Mandy Harmon declares, “Most importantly I am
Being Thankful: A Special Gift
Today, let's talk about something very special: being thankful. Being thankful means showing gratitude for the good things we have. It’s like saying "thank you" with a happy heart. Let’s explore why being thankful is important and what the Bible says about it.
What Does the Bible Say?
The Bible has many verses that teach us about thankfulness. *Here are a few to think about:
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
“O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever” (1 Chronicles 16:34).
“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful” (Colossians 3:15).
These verses remind us that God wants us to be thankful in every situation. When we say thank you, we are not only polite, but we also make God happy.
Why Should We Be Thankful?
Being thankful has many benefits:
● It makes us happy: When we focus on the good things, we feel more joy.
● It strengthens our relationships: Saying thank you shows others we appreciate them.
● It pleases God: God loves it when we are thankful for His blessings.
Discussion Prompts for Parents and Children
Here are some questions parents can ask to help children think more about thankfulness:
What are three things you are thankful for today? This helps children reflect on their day and recognize the good things in their lives.
How do you feel when someone says thank you to you? Discussing this can help children understand how their thankfulness can positively impact others.
Can you think of a time when you forgot to say thank you? How can we remember to be more thankful? This can lead to a discussion on the importance of mindfulness and being aware of our actions.
Why do you think God wants us to be thankful in every situation, even when things are hard? This helps children
understand that thankfulness isn't just for good times but also helps us stay positive during challenges.
Activities to Encourage Thankfulness
1. Thankful Tree: Create a tree out of paper and write things you are thankful for on the leaves. Watch your tree grow as you add more leaves each day.
2. Thank You Notes: Make homemade cards for people who have done something nice for you, like your teacher, a friend, or a family member. Expressing your gratitude in writing is a wonderful way to show appreciation.
3. Gratitude Walk: Take a walk outside with your family and point out things you see that you’re thankful for, like the trees, birds, or a friendly neighbor. This helps you appreciate the world around you.
4. Gratitude Stones: Collect small stones and paint or write things you are thankful for on them. Place the stones in a visible area of your home as a daily reminder of your blessings.
5. Acts of Kindness: Show your thankfulness by doing something kind for someone else. This could be helping with chores, sharing a toy, or giving someone a hug. Acts of kindness are a way to express gratitude through action.
6. Thankfulness Chain: Cut strips of colored paper and write one thing you're thankful for on each strip. Link the strips together to create a chain that you can hang in your home. Watch the chain grow as you add more links each day.

Gò0 dNews for Relationships
Unflappable
by Jade Morgan
Iteach a high school reading class and one of our terms is “conflict.” The literary definition of conflict is: A struggle between two opposing forces, usually the protagonist and antagonist.
There are different kinds of conflict, but the two most common are internal and external.
Whether we are consciously aware of it or not, we experience conflict of some kind on a daily basis. We have struggles with ourselves and in our own minds. We are involved in strife or competition with others. We even face contention in various forms of social media in which we choose to participate. Sure, most of these clashes are not intentional or even desired, but even so, they occur.
Lately, I have been thinking about all of the animosity and tension going on in our country, but really, do we truly
want everyone to think exactly the same, or like we do? Do we want everyone to have the same opinions? Do we want everyone to act equally? I don’t. How boring would life be? Moreover, how boring would we be? There would be nothing to challenge us or to strive for. We would have no surprises in life. Some would argue that we would have unity, but would we really? As much as most people hate to admit it, we need one another. We cannot grow or be sharpened with a one tract mind that never is tested, stimulated, or asserted.
So, again, conflict is inevitable and even necessary at times.
I honestly want to know when I do wrong. I seriously do. I want to be the best person I can possibly be. I do not want to have a bad reputation or offend those around me. I want to take criticism humbly and genuinely change my behavior. As much as I want correction, I do fear it. We are made to feel shame for being wrong in any way at such an early age that we naturally panic when redirected. This does not have to be so, and this is not how it was meant to be.
I read recently that there is no such thing as an isolated incident in life. Each person involved is coming into the dilemma with our own backgrounds and life experiences, plus a few battle scars and wounds. We are treating said situation as an isolated incident, but there is no way it can be handled as such. I have a plethora of thoughts running in my head that are all connected to confrontations
in the past. Those old feelings and emotions start to pop up that have absolutely nothing to do with the present circumstances, but once we feel offended, man, those previous hurts are exposed in a hurry. I am totally guilty of this as well.
Matthew 18:15-17 AMPC says:
“If your brother wrongs you, go and show him his fault, between you and him privately. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two others, so that every word may be confirmed and upheld by the testimony of two or three witnesses. If he pays no attention to them [refusing to listen and obey], tell it to the church.”
I want to seek out peace and harmony. I truly believe it is a dream for a majority of the population. However, have we ever seen it? Do we even know what it will be like? Is this even possible? Probably not. There will always be someone who does not like you. There will always be someone that you annoy just by being you. It is human nature. However, we can fight for inner peace, contentment, and harmony. We cannot control others, but we can control ourselves, our reactions and our emotions. We can be set
apart and let others see that we are unflappable and that, contrary to popular belief, it is possible to not get offended by every single thing.
I read a quote from Alejandra Lagunes recently that put it so well:
“Be a woman other women can trust. Have the courage to tell another woman directly when she has offended, hurt, or disappointed you. Successful women have a loyal tribe of loyal and honest women behind them. Not haters. Not backstabbers or women who whisper behind their back. Be a woman who lifts other women.”
Of course, this does not apply solely to women, men are included too. Let’s care enough to make ourselves better, as well as others in the process. Have the hard conversation. It is worth it, to you and them.

for Parents
From Care to Compassion
by Stephanie Daniels
November 18, 2024 is National Adoption Day. This is especially significant because November is National Adoption Month bringing focus to the foster care system and the need for adoptive families.
God has recently placed a profound concern for the foster care system within my heart. I've been deeply moved by the heart-wrenching stories of children who, while in foster care, endure unimaginable abuse and neglect. It is disheartening to hear of cases where some children are provided with subpar food while they watch the families around them enjoy healthy meals. This should never happen. It is my firm belief that we need to implement a higher level of inspections and thorough screenings to ensure that these children are being properly cared for.
Tragically, many of these children age out of the system, only to find themselves struggling to secure employment and housing. I implore each one of you reading this article to take a moment to reflect and consider what you can do to support the foster care system. I understand that not everyone can or should become a foster parent, but there are various ways you can make a difference. You may be inspired to make donations to your local foster care center or volunteer your time monthly to provide guidance and encouragement to these young individuals. Contact your local program to discover ways to be a blessing. Hebrews 10:24 reminds us to consider one another to stir up love and good works.
Personally, I am collaborating with my employer to explore ways in which we can help foster children in our community develop their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). One thing I am certain I can contribute is my ability to motivate and inspire these youth. Over the years, I've accumulated valuable life lessons that I can share with them. Sometimes, just a word of encouragement and guidance can lead a young person toward employment opportunities that they might not have considered before, such as starting with an entry-level position at an apartment community. This could be a stepping stone to becoming a leasing consultant or a maintenance worker, paving the way for
them to become an apartment manager and secure discounted housing. It is essential that we broaden their horizons beyond seeing themselves only in fast-food jobs; there are numerous entry-level opportunities that can offer more promising prospects.
Our youth represent the future. Investing in the lives of young people is not only rewarding but a wise investment to ensure the stability of our country. We need foster parents who not only look after the physical and emotional needs of our youth but who also care for the spiritual needs. The Word tells us that “Iron sharpens Iron” (see Proverbs 27:17). Being a Christian foster parent gives you an opportunity to instill godly principles into youth and to create a discipline of church attendance and Bible reading in the life of a child who will grow up to make a difference in the earth. Investing in their lives is not only fulfilling but also a prudent choice to safeguard the future stability of our nation.
As our youth represent the future, it is our responsibility to invest our time and attention into ensuring they are equipped to succeed in life. Some of you might have the resources and the land to establish transition houses for young adults who are aging out of the foster care system. For others, your support may be rooted in heartfelt prayers. We must not underestimate the profound impact that prayer can have on the lives of these young individuals. Let us step forward in faith, knowing that our investment in these young lives will echo through eternity.
If you are currently a foster parent or involved in any way in the foster care system, please take a bow and I hope you can hear my applause! You are truly helping our communities in more ways than can be counted. Your investment in these children and youth is making a significant impact now and will have a ripple effect for years and generations to come.

for Everyone Being Grateful
by David Huff
Galatians 6:1-10 KJV Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all
the same sin. We should protect ourselves from thinking we are too good to help someone. This is our pride getting in the way, making us think we are better than we are. We have to remember that we do not have to compare ourselves to anyone. God has given each of us our gifts to work within His kingdom. We should pay attention to our work and in doing so we will find the satisfaction we are looking for.
good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
In Galatians 6, we are taught that we will harvest what we sow. Are we sowing to God’s Spirit or are we sowing to our sinful corrupt nature? It will make all the difference in how our lives go, not just here on Earth but for eternity. We should not be hostile towards other believers when they sin, but we should gently and humbly guide them back on track. Speaking the truth should be done without judgment. In the process we should guard our hearts against what is going on with another believer, so we do not fall into
Are we planting seeds to satisfy our sinful nature, or are we planting seeds of goodness that come only from God’s Spirit? If we are planting seeds of goodness, we will develop a harvest of goodness, but if we are planting seeds of discouragement, discouragement is what we will receive. Those who plant to please God will receive everlasting life, but those who sow to their sinful nature will receive death and decay. Whenever we can do good, we should always do good with a cheerful, truthful, and joyous spirit. We should be happy that God is using us to help someone else and not be begrudging about doing so. In doing so we will reap a multitude of blessings. Freedom in Christ does not give us a license to sin; instead, it allows us to overcome sin. By allowing the Spirit to operate in us and through us, we are also finding healing for our sinful nature. Living in the Spirit and walking in the Spirit allows us to receive good fruit that can be used to help God's kingdom.
When we gave our lives to Christ, we were given the Holy Spirit to live inside of us. The Spirit guides us and changes our sin patterns. However, there is always a war raging inside of us in our flesh between good and evil. We cannot rely on our strength to overcome this battle, but we should rely on the Holy Spirit's guidance. By walking in and with the Spirit, we will overcome the battles of the flesh.

Thank Him through the Fog!
by David Voyles
It's easy to be thankful when we feel happy and blessed, but what about those times when our whole world is falling apart? Paul the apostle says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” While it is biblical to be thankful in the good and bad times, it's not always easy to do. However, I have found my weakest moments and hardest struggles are the times I ended up being most thankful for. This may seem counterintuitive, but it’s these experiences that build and strengthen our minds, bodies, and spirits. These are the moments that will bring us closer to our Lord and provide a glimpse into the awesome power of prayer and gratitude. That is why it is so important to be thankful and rely on Him during our worst moments. Thank Him when the fog is thick and the answers are not clear. Ultimately, our thankfulness will reveal and confirm our faith in the Savior and teach us what it is to share our burden with Him.
God doesn't promise to never give us more than we can handle. In fact, it's quite the opposite. He wants us to seek Him in the difficult times and crave His intervention. While He may not immediately lead us out of the darkest moments, He will walk beside us through the fire and difficulties. He will share the burden with us and sustain us through it all. The Word says in Psalms 55:22 CSB “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you.”
Next time you think everything is lost, take a step back and look at the blessings you possess. For each breath you take to each step you make, God should be thanked and praised. Without Him, none of it would have been possible and there would be no opportunity for a better tomorrow or a better life after this one has run its course. There truly is so much we can be thankful for if we just open our eyes a bit wider and look deeper into our hearts. We can be thankful because God is worthy of our praise. God has blessed us. God gives us hope. God grows us through our challenges. God Gives us strength. God has provided a better life after
this one. I will leave you with a poem I wrote as a teen when I was at a dark place in my life. This poem was my way of praising God even when I didn’t always know there would be a better day tomorrow.
As I felt that the world would never let me be, He was there to hide me so no one could see.
As I lost all hope for a world full of hate, He showed me so quickly it's never too late.
As I shed many tears for all love that had passed. He shared His love, more than one could ever ask.
As I thought I walked alone in a life dark and gray, He was there the whole time leading the way.
God, thank you for being my hope.
Dear God, thank you for teaching me to cope. Thank you for lifting me up.
Dear God, thank you for overfilling my cup. Thank you for easing my fears.
Dear God, thank you for drying my tears. I wish to thank you God for all the help.
If life is a dance, please continue to show me the steps.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Celebrate Him
by Judy Hood
Make the season bright For Jesus is the light. He came to show His love.
Love is something we never tire of In this season of wonderful bliss.
There’s a spirit of joy; we also reminisce. Thankful for the blessings God has bestowed, How He kept us and led us down the right road. What a day to celebrate as His birthday arrives!
Praise Him for His goodness; praise Him for our lives!
We praise Him for the salvation He brought. We are always on His mind; always in His thoughts.
But all the celebrations on earth could never compare,
To the joy and splendor when we get there. Heaven will shine brighter than anything we have ever known. We’ll be walking those streets of glory as we head to God’s throne. We can’t even imagine in our wildest dreams, What’s in store: how He went to extremes. How could He be so creative? With colors, He went wild! I just know as I look around, I’m so happy to be his child!
The Courage to Appreciate Each Day
by John Zellner
During the month of November, many Believers exhibit and promote daily gratitude and thankfulness. This culminates on Thanksgiving, where families often enjoy fellowship, food, and I dare say, football. Like so many, I’ve enjoyed many Thanksgivings over the years and always look forward to the next— especially with family in Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. But what happens when Thanksgiving ends and we go back to our day to day lives, do we forget gratitude and thankfulness?
Over the past two years or so, I’ve incorporated a daily morning prayer of thanksgiving into my prayer life. I say it upon awaking, looking up to God as I lie in bed. The prayer is as follows:
I give thanks to you oh King, living and eternal, for you have returned within me my soul with compassion, abundant is your faithfulness.
The prayer is based upon Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV, “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.”
Oftentimes I am simply amazed at how blessed I am to even recite such a prayer. I desire to be thankful and grateful for everything in my life, as the Apostle Paul challenges the church in his letter to the Thessalonians to be “thankful in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). By praying to God first thing in the morning regarding thankfulness, I am reminding myself to be thankful throughout the day.
in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
As Believers in the Risen Christ, we have the amazing blessing and opportunity to appreciate and value each day. Each day, each morning when I recite the above prayer, I connect with THE King. I am so humbled and thankful that I identify as His child, His servant, first thing in the morning. I am so thankful I have a new opportunity to
imitate Christ and exhibit the fruit of the Spirit that Paul challenges the Galatians to exhibit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, see Galatians 6).
Each day is unique. Each day has its own challenges, obstacles, worries—and we are not to worry of tomorrow as Jesus tells us (Matthew 6:34)—so as to miss what God has in store for us this day. Today. And within today, within each moment, we have the blessing to learn from life that each moment is meaningful and important, as the author of Hebrews infers in Romans 8:28 NKJV, “And we know that
Yes, sometimes it is very hard walking and living as Christ walked and lived. Yes, I often fail. However, as Jeremiah and Lamentations remind me, our King is merciful and faithful. And just like His mercies are renewed each day, I have the opportunity to be renewed each day. For that, I am extremely thankful. May we all have the courage to appreciate each day.

Why Not Hope?
by Sandra Gilmore
If there were a booster shot capable of boosting your health in multiple aspects, would you take it? If there were a preventative measure to slow the effects of stress, would you use it? The Bible is blatantly clear about something that science still finds mysterious. Experiments and studies point to the same conclusions, yet researchers don’t always know why. What results have they found? This booster can lower the effects of stress on the body. It can:
● Lower risk of heart attack and/or cardio-related illness
● Lower the perception of pain
● Lower blood pressure
● Lower inflammation
● Boost circulation, respiration, and motor function
● Become a catalyst for change, breakthrough, and motivation
● Sustain intentional healthy habits
● Ease the impact of setbacks and difficulties
If sold in stores, this booster would fly off the shelves. Lines would form outside the doors and around the sidewalk. Eager shoppers would camp outside when a new shipment was on its way. Alas, it’s not sold in stores. There’s nothing to order on the web. No way to make a homemade batch. Fortunately, we have a prescription, indeed a preScripture-tion. The Lord put many references to this booster in plain view. Can you catch the pattern?
● “Through Him, we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Romans 5:2-5 NIV).
● “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope” (Romans 15:13 NIV).
● “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV).
● “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment” (I Timothy 6:17 NIV).
● “But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you” (Psalm 39:7 NIV).
● “Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble and never stop praying” (Romans 12:12 CEV).
Do you see the booster? It’s hope in our hearts. The original word “heart” in Scripture refers to both the organ in the body and the emotions. Research consistently confirms a mind/body connection. Want to improve your health, especially your heart health? Foster hope. Take on a hopeful mindset and outlook. Establish healthy habits rooted in hope. Make plans for the future. Look up Scriptures pertaining to hope and memorize a few. You’ll see a difference. You’ll find the boost you’ve been needing!

in honor of Veteran’s Day
A Father’s Sacrifice
by Kristen West
Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, was established in the United States in 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson. The holiday was created to honor those who died in World War I and to commemorate the end of the war on November 11, 1918, when fighting ceased on the Western Front at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Veteran’s Day is personal to me. My father is a Vietnam War veteran.
While I haven’t heard many of his stories, I know that the circumstances he found himself in, the atrocities that he witnessed, and the lingering aftereffects can never be erased. No matter how much time goes by.
Beyond the battlefield experience, my father returned home from Vietnam to find America not looking anything like the land that he loved. It was suffering from the collateral damage of this war and was struggling with how deeply the conflict had polarized its inhabitants. Americans were divided in their opinions of our country’s involvement and many took their passionate stances out on the veterans returning home.
My father and thousands of other Vietnam vets returned to the States to face scorn, shame, and insult. Getting back to “normal life” was nonexistent as political, social, and personal unrest became the new norm. (Is it any wonder that Vietnam vets went on to experience a 90% divorce rate, one of the highest post-war PTSD rates, and saw suicides from their ranks skyrocket?)
My father sacrificed so much. He sacrificed his time – more than a year was spent away from his brand new wife. Instead, it was dedicated to the terrifying jungles and unknown culture of a foreign country. He sacrificed his innocence – images seared into his mind from frontline war, ambushes, and humanity at its worst that cannot be undone. He sacrificed his freedom – when drafted, he bravely answered the call and stepped up to serve not knowing if he’d ever return to the comforts of his American life. He sacrificed his peace – fear gripped his heart and mind daily as he learned to live in “fight or flight” mode. Exhaustion; stress and terror consumed him.
Life, liberties, freedom, and peace all come at a very heavy price. My father’s example taught me that. My Savior’s life did, as well. Jesus proved that sacrifice was the ultimate part of living a selfless life. His voluntary decision to endure the most brutal of Roman culture tortures of the day – crucifixion – demonstrated that.
That divine sacrifice continues to resonate around the world as scores of Christ-followers choose to pick up their cross and die to themselves daily as they love God supremely, love others as themselves, and live with mission and purpose (see Luke 9:23).
I am forever grateful for God’s ultimate sacrifice as Jesus exchanged His life for me. I am also daily grateful for my father’s sacrifice as he bravely served in a war that proved to be a magnet for controversy. But a war his country called him to serve in regardless.
Today, I write this in honor of my father and all the other men and women who have answered that call to serve, protect, and defend our country.
Thank you. Your service, devotion, and sacrifices will forever be written on the pages of history and the deepest places of our hearts.
Until next time, Grace and Glory!

Thanksgiving: Before the Mayflower
by Brent Goodge
Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name (Hebrews 13:15 NKJV).
Over two millennia before the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth, England, another group of pilgrims was walking from Jerusalem to Babylon. Captured by Nebuchadnezzar’s army, the leaders of Judah were to become his servants. The people God called out of Babylon were going back to Abraham’s original homeland.
Among the thousands demoted from royalty to slavery were four young Hebrews. Unlike the apostasy prevailing in Jerusalem, these young men had been raised in families that loved and obeyed the King of Heaven.
Upon arriving in Babylon, the easy route would be to appease their captors, to do whatever it took to preserve their lives in the short term, hoping for some turn of events where their situation would be reversed. The faithful four decided they would obey God regardless of the consequences, leaving the results to Him. If faithfulness cost them their lives in Babylon, they would die having been faithful to God.
The first test of their commitment would come almost immediately after their arrival. King Nebuchadnezzar wanted to show his benevolence, so the slaves that seemed wise enough to be useful to his government would be seated to eat at the king’s table. But that table was filled with food declared by God’s Word as an abomination. Also, it had been offered in pagan sacrificial services. A decision had to be made quickly.
the dream, Nebuchadnezzar was enraged when they weren’t able to. The subsequent death decree was expansive, including the young Hebrews.
Daniel went to Nebuchadnezzar and told him that where the gods of Babylon were helpless, the God of Heaven was all-powerful. With no obvious evidence of impending help, other than the opportunity to bring glory to His Name, Daniel declared that God could and would reveal the dream and the interpretation.
During the night, Daniel’s faithfulness was honored again. The prophetic dream, which has been accurate in every detail through over 2600 years of human history, was given to Daniel. The four men got on their knees and celebrated Thanksgiving. Not with feasting, but with prayers of utter gratitude to the God who preserved their lives!
“Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank” (Daniel 1:8 NKJV).
God blessed their faithfulness, and the four young men advanced in the government. But a greater threat loomed ahead. King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream. Nebuchadnezzar wanted the dream interpreted, but he couldn’t remember it. Demanding his sorcerers interpret
“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His.”
“I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers; You have given me wisdom and might, And have now made known to me what we asked of You, For You have made known to us the king’s demand” (Daniel 2:20,23 NKJV).
Brent Goodge lives in Whitfield County. He loves Thanksgiving and hopes he will always keep the real purpose in focus.
