November 12---Howdy, Neighbor

Neighbors are people in need- whoever and wherever they may be.

Dictionary.com definition of neighbor- a person who shows kindliness or helpfulness toward his or her fellow humans

So don't limit your love to people like you or people you like. Jesus wants us to love everyone. Jesus will teach us many lessons through other people that maybe very different from us. So remember if you don't take the opportunity to love someone you could be missing out on that person and possibly something that God has to offer to you.

God left no loopholes in his love command. sooo..............DO IT!!!

I'm getting excited for THANKSGIVING!!

2. Glad about something: glad or relieved about something

How has God blessed you in the past year?

Can you remember specific times when you called out to God in prayer?

How did God respond to your request?

Sometimes God doesn't answer our prayers the way we want. God sees our situation much better than we do and we can trust that He always has our best interest in mind. We only see a tiny piece of the puzzle and God has the entire puzzle, and he know how to put it together.

Do you ever find it difficult to be thankful?

Some situation make it hard to be thankful but we can still find reasons to be thankful. Knowing Jesus loves us and choose to die for us is a big enough reason. Knowing God is in control gives us peace, he has a purpose for our life. God blesses us in so many ways that we sometimes fail to recognize. Think about all the wonderful things in our lives: family, friends; think how empty life would be without them.
