Thanksgiving Thoughts

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were able to travel down to Thomasville and visit with Jawan's family. She goes back to the doctor tomorrow for her, now weekly, check-up to see if she is progressing toward labor. We will let you know if anything starts happening -- but I think that we are still a few weeks away from having the baby.
On the PCA Web Magazine (byFaith Online) there is a Thanksgiving sermon from a few years ago by John Piper. Here's a snippet, but it is worth the few minutes that it takes to read through the entire text (click here):

Proud people don't say thanks. But people who believe these three truths do, from the bottom of their heart. The truth that we are utterly dependent creatures. The truth that we are depraved sinners. And the truth that we are redeemed and utterly forgiven through contrite faith. If these three truths penetrate to your heart this morning they will empty your heart of pride and fill it with thankfulness to God.

I am thankful that I get the privilege of being your pastor!
