Thanksgiving is a Christian virtue emphasized repeatedly in the Bible. As we
reflect on the blessings of this season, we are filled with gratitude for those
who have served so faithfully during this time.
Let's start by focusing on recent Christmas-related events. We are thankful
for those who served at St. Andrew's Adult Home (SAAH) during the recent
Christmas events. The joy we bring to both the clients and caregivers at the
Home is priceless. The skits, activities, and "home-cooked" meals were all
thoughtfully planned and lovingly prepared. In a world driven by measurable
outcomes, we often focus on results. But what if the Lord is simply calling us
to serve, expecting nothing in return? Our presence, the love of Christ we
share, and the kindness in our hearts truly matter—now and for eternity.
We were also blessed with a wonderful turnout of guests at our Christmas
Service.
Thank you to everyone who invited family and friends, trusting that
they would be blessed and enjoy the celebration. The team worked diligently
on the skit, even with limited preparation time, and the effort put into the
decorations was evident. The Zimrah ministry, though small in number this
season, led us beautifully in worship. We were all deeply encouraged by the
Christmas message.
Our Christmas celebration was made even more special by a delicious, home-
cooked spread prepared by a dedicated team of cooks and bakers. For some,
it was their first time cooking for the Church, but I hope this experience has
encouraged them to continue. Many others stepped up to help in various
ways, ensuring that every person enjoyed the lunch and had meaningful
conversations. From the thoughtfully designed menu to the delightful
cookies, everyone contributed their talents to make the occasion memorable.
Beyond Christmas, our list of thanksgiving grows even longer, and though I
won’t attempt to name every event or individual, I am deeply grateful for each
one of you.
We don’t express our thanks enough. It’s essential to cultivate a spirit of
gratitude—to recognize the gift of the brothers and sisters God has placed in
our lives. A heart of thanksgiving helps us to be truly present in each moment,
appreciating the people around us—our family, our friends.
I thank the Lord for each one of you. I thank Him for calling me to serve at
MPCC, and I thank Him that my name is written in the Book of Life.
As we welcome the new year, let us enter with thanksgiving in our hearts!
