I will say this is the day that the Lord has made! I will enter His courts with Praise!


 


I am thankful for the good food that we eat, I am thankful for the beautiful colors that show up on our trees around Thanksgiving, and I am thankful for you – my Crenshaw Kid family! But who should I thank for all of these wonderful things? I should thank God because God is the one who gives us our food. I should thank God because God is the one who makes the trees change with the seasons, and I should thank God for you because God is the one who gave you to me.

In Psalm 138 David thanks God with his whole heart and David thanks God for everything. Let’s read it: 

 


I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased. All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth, and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord. For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands,” (Psalm 138, ESV).

We should thank God for everything and we should thank God with our whole heart!

Calling all prayer warriors! As you pray today, please remember Ashleigh. Mark 11:24

Crenshaw Kids and families please keep our Ashleigh in your prayers.  Ashleigh was admitted into Children's Hospital at Richmond,  VCU on October 17.  Ashleigh joined us a few months ago in Sunday School and she needs our voices.   Ashleigh is in the 6th grade at Kenston and loves music and drama, cheering and just enjoys life with friends all the time! From Mom yesterday: Update on Ashleigh she is still dealing with pressure on her brain which is still causing a lot of things going on with her body. She is still having issues with talking and seems to be favoring her right side more than left side. She has had some occupational therapy and physical therapy should be in here today. The neurologist said that they will keep her on the medication for the pressure a couple of more days and may possibly have to do another mri at the end of the week to see how things are doing. We are seeing very small improvements and are taking things day to day right now. She hasn’t had anymore fever

“Snowbody” loves YOU like JESUS party! Isaiah 1:18. 100 plus Kids, teens and adults enjoyed June 14th fun!

Just like God can make a beautiful snowflake out of a speck of dust, He can make something beautiful out of us too when we go to Him for forgiveness and ask Him to cover our sins white as snow! “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”   Isaiah 1:18 Is that automatic?  No…we have to choose and be willing to take a bath or shower to get clean, don’t we?  It doesn’t just happen like an automatic human car wash! 1 John 1:9 says  “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” This means we have to ask; we have to admit we are wrong and we need God to make us right and clean.  When we do, He promises to forgive us and purify or cleanse us. When the snow falls, it covers things; it covers the ground, the leaves on the trees, our roofs and our cars.  Then everything looks white! Well, God
