Overflowing!
Overflowing, oozing, bubbling and running over....
Made you think of post-Thanksgiving-dinner hot apple pie with ice cream and whipped cream, right!? :)
Well, actually I am thinking about Trey and cancer.
Paul in his letter to the Colossians teaches:
"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him,
rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."
Colossians 2:6-7
Apple pie oozes apple goodness.
Cherry pie overflows cherry goodness. (all over my oven!) :)
What overflows from your life?
We can only overflow with what is inside!
"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him,
rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."
We overflow with thankfulness to Christ Jesus our Lord!
We
overflow with thankfulness for Team Mitlo One and all prayer warriors
and friends who pray for Trey and his treatments and his healing!
We overflow with thankfulness for Trey and Jay and Rachel and Joe and Bella as they teach us how to
live in Christ,
live rooted in Christ,
live built up in Christ, and
live strengthened in the faith!
So this Thanksgiving, (and beyond!) when it is your turn to tell the family what you are thankful for,
just don't think of one canned phrase to squeak out...OVERFLOW with thankfulness from a thankful, faith-filled heart! :)
"It is good to give thanks to the LORD"
Psalm 92:1
