We are entering into holiday season and the time when many things will be happening around us, some good and others not so good. Regardless of our situations we must be especially thankful for our blessings, always remembering to praise God for His grace. The true test of a Christian is whether or not we can remain faithful and trusting of God in hard times. The upcoming holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas will affect the people of God in many ways. Some will have memories that they would rather forget. However, our power and strength comes from the Lord and He will be forever with us in these times. We are to pray constantly for one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, knowing that God hears every prayer, and be thankful unto Him every God-given day.
