To have the shalom of God rest on you was to experience the life God intended all humanity to live in — one that was whole, and free, redeemed and restored.

On this Thanksgiving Day, giving thanks is only part of our spiritual duty.

Because God is good – everyday – there is no need to wait until tomorrow to give thanks.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving this week, take stock of your life and thank the Lord for all of the blessings he has given you. Then find a way to share them with others.
