November of Thanksgiving 19

You can get this button from Lisa of Lisa NotesThis afternoon I’ll be joining the church choir in singing at a memorial service for one of the founding members of my church. I’m thankful that we have a choir, that I have the privilege of singing in it, and that we have the privilege of singing in remembrance of the life of this faithful saint.

While I’m thinking of it, I’m thankful for the witness of all those who stay faithful to the end through life’s difficulties and trials. And I’m thankful for these words from 1 Thessalonians: “So shall we ever be with the Lord.”

• Diane is thankful for the blessing of spiritual poverty.
• Trisha is thankful for a house full of book lovers.

What are you thankful for today?

I’ll be back later this evening to add any more thanksgiving posts I find (or that you point me to). As more people participate, it gets more likely that I’ll make mistakes in my posting, so if I miss your post or mess up a link, please tell me. And remember, if you miss a day or two, you’ll need to give me a heads up on your next thanksgiving post.

Do you want to participate, too? You’ll find instructions here for the ways both bloggers and nonbloggers can join in the thanksgiving.

Praying that all goes well at the memorial service today. That's very nice that you are singing for it. I'm sure it will be a great blessing to the family.

Thanks, Lisa. I've added your link to both today's and yesterday's post. I don't know how I missed it yesterday....and that lead to me missing it today, too. Sorry about that.

Thanks, Rebecca. I don't know how you're keeping up with this so well anyway. It must be a lot of work for you, but it sure makes it easy on us to follow others who are participating. You're a blessing.
