“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” – Psalm 107:1 NIV
Dear CCM Friends,
We are giving thanks to the Lord for His goodness in all of our lives. Whether this year has been the “best of times or worst of times”, God has been with each of us through it all. His love for us endures forever.
Valorie Burton notes, “In studies by researchers at the University of California – Davis, those who write down three blessings every day were compared to those who do not. The more grateful group had stronger immune systems, caught fewer colds, had less trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and felt better about their lives. They were even more likely to exercise. Interestingly, it’s not enough to simply say what you are grateful for. You must write it down, according to researchers. Apparently, there is power in the written word.”*
As you enter this Thanksgiving moment, be aware of God’s love for you and give thanks. Learn the language of gratitude, practice saying “thank you”. It can be easier to have greed for something more or better or different. Practice being grateful for what you have. Take the time to write your blessings out each day and see what happens. Give thanks to the Lord and feel the goodness of His love surround and strengthen you, spirit, soul and body.
We are thanking God for our CCM family! You continue to impact our lives and the lives of people locally and globally through your love and generosity. God bless you as you continue to live for the glory of God.
Oh, thank God-he’s so good! His love never runs out. All of you set free by God, tell the world!
Thanking God for each of you,
Scott & Clare
