Take a Moment Prayer : Week of Nov 2

Comforting God, there are so many things for which I am grateful. This week following Remembrance Sunday, I am thinking particularly of those who have been special to me who have passed from this life into eternal life with you. There are special people whom I miss who have helped to mold me into a believer and a disciple of Christ. Through their life example and generous love, I have been a recipient of God’s presence and love. I have learned from them what it means to be in a faithful relationship with Jesus; and I have been inspired to help with God’s kingdom-building work. I thank you for them. Comfort me when I remember them and once again feel the pain of grief. Comfort all who are grieving.  Remind me that one day I will be reunited with my those whom I miss deeply, and together we will live and worship God forevermore in the glory of God’s heavenly kingdom. Amen.

November

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:17)

I want to make a confession. As I journey towards my retirement, I enjoy looking back to see what I was writing about in my monthly Pastor’s Pen articles. Some remind me about things we have done together, and others speak of lessons about what it means to be the church, and still others address world issues that we face as Christians. Not all are relevant to our current days. But I came across this Pastor’s Pen for Thanksgiving 2021. Maybe you remember it; I don’t. I like the message and felt it is worth sharing again. I hope it blesses you again.
