Well what's on your mind?

Hello to all my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. I pray that you had a very blessed Thanksgiving, and ate well and shared much love. The Father is so good to us through his son, our Lord.I hope that you took the time from enjoying his bounty, to give thanks. Sometimes we can get wrapped up in our own pleasures and issues that we can forget about the Lord. But we as followers of the Lord, must stay focused. When you take your eyes off the Lord, your life will slowly begin to sink, like Peter did on the water. When we walk with him, we feel strong in spirit, clear in our thoughts, filled with the spirit of love, and motivated to move forward. The Christmas holiday season is here, and we all know how the world thinks of Christmas. They don't want to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus, they could care less. All they're  concerned about is looking good, how much money they've spent. They will take pleasure in decorating their homes and big trees to impress their friends. We must be vigilant and committed to the Lord. We are in the world, but not of the world. As followers of Christ, we are set apart from the world, we have to learn not to do as they do. Follow and thrust in his commandments, don't lose sight of your faith. The Christmas season is here, what's on your mind?
