“Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15).
“Our stores have been carrying Christmas decorations for over a month now,” Pastor Kenward said as he walked through the church office door. “Marie! I see the evidence that we are approaching the Christmas season in this office already as well,” Pastor K. said as he stopped and looked at the many Christmas decorations in the office of his secretary. “Check your calendar, Marie. It is November 30th. Here you have this office decorated as if it was the night before Christmas. What am I going to do with you?” he laughed. Before Marie could answer a word, he continued, “Do you have a minute to step into my office?” Both walked to Pastor Kenward’s office, and as he opened his door, he hit the switch. Not only did his office lights come on but so did the Christmas tree in the corner and all the lights along the ceiling and in the windows. “I decorated, too, and am excited to start the series on Sunday, ‘Thanks for His Unspeakable Gift.’” Both Pastor K. and Marie laughed and then stopped to thank the Lord for coming to be their Savior. It was a great morning in the office.
For today: We can be thankful for His unspeakable gift every day!
