A little Thanksgiving devotion. No fancy words. No Greek. No deep truths today.

Fellowship – Partnership – association – relationship

"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment." (1 John 3:23 KJV)

Through our lives we have contact with people who touch our lives. God knows exactly who they are as all those with whom we come into contact are all part of God’s plan for each of us.

Who has impacted your life? Who has influenced you? Start with A and go to Z. Give thanks to God for each individual how God has brought each one into our lives. Take time to pray for each one and their family BY NAME.

When we begin to feel God has become distant and far away, pull out this list and read each name and give thanks AGAIN and AGAIN. God will be as near as the sound of each name.

This will not be a complete list at first. We may not have names for each letter of the alphabet. There will be names that we have forgotten over time. When God reveals those forgotten names, add them to the list.

God Bless you and your family.
