Thanksgiving

祂從一本造出萬族的人,住在全地上,並且預先定準他們的年限和所住的疆界,要叫他們尋求神,或者可以揣摩而得,其實祂離我們各人不遠;我們生活、動作、存留,都在乎祂。就如你們作詩的,有人說:『我們也是他所生的。』 (使徒行傳 17:26-28)

In 2007 summer when I was still a seeker in God kingdom, I had a conversation with a pastor, the keynote speaker on a retreat. He gave me this verse. Over the years after I became a Christian I ponder on it from time to time especially when I am discouraged or losing sight of the road ahead.
Indeed each time I realize that He is not far from me, from each one of us.  But He wants us seek him and reach out for him and find him in any circumstances in our journey of life. 'For in him we live and move and have our being.'

I am thankful for this whole year, the fullness of life that God gives me. There is tears and laughter, the setback and the accomplishment. But I am most thankful that I know God more.

Happy Thanksgiving!

當稱謝進入他的門; 當讚美進入他的院。 當感謝他,稱頌他的名! (詩篇 100:4)

Come, let us sing for joy to the  Lord;  let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.  Let us come before him with thanksgiving  and extol him with music and song. (Psalm 95:1, 2)
