Through Him, let us continually offer to God the sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name! Hebrews 13:15 This year for Thanksgiving I am offering the fruit of my lips as my sacrifice of praise to God my Savior. I thank You for my wife- a virtuous …
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving. It's my all-time favorite holiday. I've written about it over the years quite a lot (here, here, here, here, here, and here). I love that it's a time for our souls to soak in humility, as we consider God's abundant mercy, and it's a time for our souls to be lifted up with joy, …
