As we come through the Thanksgiving season and enter the Christmas season I am overwhelmed with feelings of gratefulness and thankfulness for our Lord — our indescribable, loving, faithful God who gave us the greatest gift of all in His son, Jesus Christ, the salvation that comes in believing in Him and the opportunity to spend eternity with Him in his eternal Kingdom…whew…What a gift!!! He is known for His Good Gifts . . .
