Thanksgiving

After a brief hiatus and a marching band season, Gravity is meeting again. And to kick off a new season of Gravity there was a rousing game of Quelf that was played. Quelf is a very silly and often humiliating board-game. But if you want to have some fun try to find the game and play and you wont be disappointed.

Besides that there was some Bible studying that was going on.

1 Thessalonians 4:18

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

The part of the verse that we looked at was giving thanks in all circumstances. Is it even possible to give thanks in ALL circumstances? If you think about all of the things that you might go through in a year you'll find that there were good times and bad times. Sure it's easy to say, "Thank You Lord" when things are going well but when times are tough. Well often times we find something to replace our bad feelings to good ones. Even if those somethings fall short.

It certainly is a challenge to be thankful all the time. But God certainly wants us to because he gives us a reason to be thankful. That reason is Jesus Christ. What?

God sent his Son (Jesus) to die for our sins. And the Bible clearly states that when you have Jesus you'll never be alone. Even our lifes are filled with lots of things, if we have Jesus all those things just kind of don't matter. Take a look at Job in the Old Testament and see what he thought about life and things.
