Dear Friend,

Who are the people you are thankful for?

Think about them for a few moments.

When I do, many faces flash across my mind’s eye from my nine decades of life. Their names would mean nothing to you. But, oh, how grateful I am to God for each one of them.

Some I spent only a few months with. Others I’ve spent many years with.

Be sure not to take any of those people for granted.

These relationships are given to us as gifts from our God of grace, the ultimate Giver!

Let’s just take a few seconds right now to consider all the good things God does for us (Psalm 103:2).

He forgives all our sins (103:3).

He heals all our diseases (103:3).

He redeems us from death (103:4).

He crowns us with love and mercy (103:4).

He satisfies our lives with good things (103:5).  

God is abundant with life and love, joy and peace, kindness and grace.

Because He is a generous Father, we have Him to thank for all the good things in our lives and all the people who have been so good to us.

That’s why Insight for Living Canada gives thanks for all of you who faithfully pray for and support our God-given, Bible-teaching mission. Your gifts fuel the global proclamation of His Word. They are multiplied and blessed by God in ways only He can accomplish and comprehend.

Thank you!

Our God is like a father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Him—and His love remains forever (103:13, 17).

I am deeply thankful for the gift of you,

Pastor Charles R. Swindoll
