"I believe that God has made me and all creatures; that He has given me my body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my limbs, my reason, and all my senses, and still preserves them; in addition thereto, clothing and shoes, meat and drink, house and homestead, wife and children, fields, cattle, and all my goods; that He provides me richly and daily with all that I need to support this body and life, protects me from all danger, and guards me and preserves me from all evil; and all this out of pure, fatherly, divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in me; for all which I owe it to Him to thank, praise, serve, and obey Him. This is most certainly true." (Martin Luther, Explanation of the First Article)
It is difficult for many to be content with what they have in our society. We are conditioned to always want more...always want better...always want the newest...etc. I am far too often guilty of not being content with what the Lord has provided for me. To make the problem worse, not only am I not always content, I am not always thankful. And finally, I have done nothing to deserve what God has given me. Although Thanksgiving is a secular holiday, it does provide us with the opportunity to stop and be thankful to our Lord for the many gifts he has given us. I am particularly thankful for:
- Faithful teachers and administrators in our Lutheran schools who boldly share the Gospel with students and families.
- Congregations who support the work of our schools, youth, and family ministries.
- Our spiritual shepherds, Pastors, who work with us and lead us in the mission field.
- Support staff and other helpers who aide us in so many different ways in order to bring the Gospel message to children and families.
Thank you for all of your work with the schools, youth, and families in our District...not just this week, but each and every day.
Chris
