Scripture: Psalm 75:1
We give thanks to you, God. Yes, we give thanks! Your name is near. Your marvelous deeds are declared.
Thought for the Day: Today, I give thanks to God – Yes, I give thanks! This past weekend, I gathered with Disciple men from throughout the state of Texas, including 17 from Cypress Creek Christian Church. The retreat was held near Brownwood State Park, and if you’ve never been to the area, it is beautiful. My gratitude today begins with God, but I am also thankful for all the servants who made the retreat possible. If you did not know, our own Nathan Higginbotham serves as Regional Staff Person for Men’s Ministry…receiving the excessive salary of $1/year (that’s joyful sarcasm and gratitude). Nathan provides leadership to the group of men who do all the behind the scenes work to make sure this great event happens. I am also thankful to God for the men called together for this retreat. Like last year, I met some pretty amazing people of faith…including some from our own church. In that kind of setting, you find time for more open and intimate conversations. So just to reiterate my main point: Today, I give thanks to God – Yes, I give thanks!
Prayer: With a full heart, I offer my gratitude to you, Generous God. You are always working to bring us into stronger relationships that bind your church together for the purpose of service. Continue to draw us together. Amen.
