Greetings First Family, I am reminded of the many blessings that have been given to me throughout my lifetime. Where do these blessings come from? Jesus is the one that brings every blessing to our lives. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 we are prompted to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ for you.” We should give thanks to God with soul, voice, and obedience. As we give Him thanks, we should be humbled and have admiration for our Heavenly Father as well. Everyone should be thankful and make a habit of thanking God for their blessings. During this Thanksgiving season, let us remember to take the time to be grateful for our Savior, His church, our families and friends. I am so thankful for so many blessings that have been granted to me. I am thankful for you. Thank you, First Family for loving and caring for me. I am proud to be your pastor and I love you, as well. Finally, I want to say thank you to all those who gave candy, served or attended the Fall Festival. Your participation was such a blessing. Thanks for having such a big heart for our community. Keep Moving Forward, Steven Smithson
