I had planned to post a longer post today, but Steve & I have been having too much fun enjoying our day off together. Don’t worry, we haven’t been going too crazy – just watching some Muppet Christmas Carol and putting up our tree, then Thanksgiving dinner and games with some friends at church. (Also, we mailed in our adoption paperwork, so you’ll be hearing more about that process soon!)
I’ll just encourage you with this passage that I just memorized at the end of Colossians 3. There’s a good emphasis on giving thanks to God through Christ, and doing it together as one body through the teaching of the Word and singing praises:
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:14-17 ESV)
