PSALM 107

GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD; HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. THEY WERE HUNGRY AND THIRSTY AND THEY CRIED OUT TO THE LORD AND HE DELIVERED THEM FROM THEIR DISTRESS. LET US GIVE THANKS FOR HIS UNFAILING LOVE AND HIS WONDERFUL DEEDS. HE SENDS FORTH HIS WORD AND HEALS US. LET US OFFER THANK OFFERINGS AND TELL OF HIS WONDERFUL WORKS WITH SONGS OF JOY. I would ask that right now you would take a moment and thank God for something, anything, despite what is going on right now in your life that makes you feel that you can't even muster up thanks for anything. Yesterday I was in kind of funk, the bank told us they would not lend us the money to buy the other house, because we give to much money away to help the poor in Mexico and don't keep enough for ourselves. Our credit score is 760 which he said was excellent but because we choose to give everything away that people sacrificially give to the ministry, that they would not take the risk to help us expand the ministry. That's when God told me to give THANKS. THANKS for not giving the bank enough interest to build four or five more houses over the next year, THANKS that we will remain debt free, THANKS so we can continue to give everything away that's put in our hands. THANKS that when our house sells, we can pay cash for the other one. THANKS that Gods plans are better than mine. I stopped at the office on the bridge on my way to Mexico to get another book of free toll tickets, THANKS LORD, and was greeted by the mayor of Pharr and the bridge supervisor. They were enjoying turkey dinner and asked if we could possibly help them help a senior citizen home in Rio Bravo Mx. They need adult diapers and food. We were just given 5 cases of adult diapers the other day, GIVE THANKS. They then gave me a huge to go carton filled with turkey, potatoes and corn and it fed 8 of us in the colonia. The fact is, I was bummed yesterday because we couldn't get the mortgage, The Truth is, IT IS BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE. THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT FOR THE TRUTHS HIDDEN IN OUR HEARTS. Paula is cooking everything for a great dinner right now to take to Mexico and share with our friends there that we are THANKFUL for everything they do to help us. I could probably sit here and type for hours THANKING GOD for so many different people and events that we are THANKFUL for and let me start and end with YOU! HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
