Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and I pray that your thoughts are turning to what you are thankful for.  So often time we are quick to list what we are thankful for but we seem to forget to whom we are thankful.  The Bible says in James 1:17 that "Every good and perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."  Praise God from whom all blessings flow.  Take time this year as you sit around the table at your Thanksgiving meal to give thanks to God.  We have a family tradition of putting 3 kernels of corn on every ones plate and before we eat, we must name 3 things for which we are thankful.  Remember not only to thank the Lord but also take the next step and tell those who are around you for whom you are thankful. God bless you all in this season of Thanksgiving and cherish the time God has given us to spend time with family and friends.  ALSO:  Don't forget we will not have AWANA's this Wednesday evening.  All activities for this Wednesday at ISBC are cancelled.
