Pastor’ s Corner
A few years ago I wrote and used the phrasing“ Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, I’ m glad I’ m not a turkey”. In my article I talked about looking for things to be be thankful for. I still believe that no matter what our situation may be or what we are facing there is always something we could be thankful for. I recently set at the bedside of a friend, brother, and fellow bikers, as he was losing his battle with cancer. You would think that this brother would have been bitter from the battle and constant pain. Here I was going to see him to do my best to lift him up and let him know how much I loved him. But after each visit I left feeling encouraged because of his words and attitude. Each time we talked about all the good times and funny memories we remembered. We told each other stories from the road and laughed at some of the stupid situations we got ourselves into. When I would get ready to leave, I would always ask my brother,“ what can I pray with you about today?” Each time he would say the same thing,“ Pastor T, I just want to thank God for for this day, and for bringing my family back together. I want to thank God for the great doctors and nurses he has sent to me, I want to thank God for giving me so many good memories, and brothers who love me”. Wow! Now that’ s real thankfulness! I pray that you and your family will have a blessed Thanksgiving. And remember be thankful. See you in the wind Pastor T
