The changing and dropping of the leaves, the shortening of
the days and the cooling of the temperature are all reminders that we have
entered into November. One of the
other signs that (or that should) accompany these is that our hearts are
beginning to swell with reflection as we prepare to officially give thanks
later this month. The Scriptures
in the lectionary this month give us great reasons for thanksgiving; beginning
with the truth that God is our Provider.
And I can’t think of a better way to begin our church stewardship emphasis this
month than with the thought that God has given us everything we have and has
promised to continue providing for our future.
As you read the texts this week, let your heart begin to
swell with gratitude as you remember your Provider.

Psalm 146
