JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning, Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. November is a time that we focus upon Thanksgiving, and for most people, that is just one day in this month when they will get together and have a meal with family and friends. However, the Bible constantly talks about the attitude of a follower of Jesus being one that is always thankful.

Thankful people are able to see the beauty in the small things in life and to offer words of hope and encouragement to others. Thankful people are always able to find a blessing that they have received each and every day. Thankful people are those who realize that they deserve nothing and have been given everything.

In our society, we are taught to expect to live in nice homes, drive new cars, and travel the world. Yet, the real blessings of life are not the ones that you can buy, it is those that surround you every day. I hope today that you will count your blessings and name them one by one and know truly what God has done.
