          I am thoroughly grateful to be saved by God in Christ from my sins (Psalm 32:1-2)!  While my journey toward perfection at the end of this life continues, when I look back over the years since I first believed the Gospel of Jesus Christ (that He died on the cross for my sins, was buried and rose again on the third day) and prayed to receive Him as my Savior and Lord on Easter Sunday 1977, I can say with all who have gone on before me I heard say, “the Lord has brought me a mighty long way!”  What an amazing work of God salvation from sin is!  So, I thank the Lord today, every day and this Thanksgiving with all my soul, heart and mind for this work of His to save sinners (1 Timothy 1:15).  What about you?  Enjoy your Thanksgiving Holiday!

          In light of the posts the Lord led me to write beginning September 25-November 13, 2022, this Thanksgiving I am beside myself with gratitude to know and walk with Him by faith!  I am grateful too, in those posts along with all of my service to the Lord through Open Door Communication Ministries, Inc. to still be on this side of Heaven declaring His mighty works--past, present and future (Psalm 118:17-18)!  This is part of His good ends in allowing me to have been afflicted with Prostate Cancer which in accord with His promise of deliverance nearly a year ago to the date He gave it, I am progressing toward fulfillment.¹  Truly, God is good to those who look to Him.  “Oh, give thanks” with me to God daily and this Thanksgiving, “for He is good,” (Psalm 136:1-3, NKJV)!
