Thanksgiving Thessalonians Reflection
Thursday 28th November 2024
2 Thessalonians 1 Thanksgiving Day
Happy Thanksgiving to you today! 🦃🎉
Opening Verses:
“We ought always and indeed are morally obligated [as those in debt] to give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is fitting, because your faith is growing ever greater, and the [unselfish] love of each one of you toward one another is continually increasing.
Reflection Verses:
“With this in view, we constantly pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of your calling [to faith] and with [His] power fulfill every desire for goodness, and complete [your] every work of faith, so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you [by what you do], and you in Him, according to the [precious] grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 AMP

Reflection:
Today is Thanksgiving Day. It’s a time to reflect, eat Turkey and give thanks. We take time out today to reflect on life and how much we are thankful for the life we now live. For Faith, Family & Friends. Faith in God. Family in Christ Jesus our Lord. Friends who we now call Neighbours. We Give Thanks by Loving God and Loving People. Yes, Thanking God and Thanking People!
This month at Free & Fit we have been giving thanks for the local police and their service to our community. We are all aware of how our world has become more divided in recent weeks and months. Here at Free & Fit we are grateful because of the men and women of service who patrol our streets and seek to protect our local communities.
This week I got to visit the local Charlotte Mecklenburg police division and to Share the Miracle of Thanksgiving. Whilst on my visit I prayed for officers Emily and Kevin who were on duty and to give them thanks for their service. I shared with them some coffee, snacks and candy canes as is tradition in this season of thankfulness. We briefly shared a moment of thanks with prayer and were able to connect on a personal level through the gift of gratitude and a shared appreciation of each others service.
My second visit was to the local police enforcement in Mint Hill where I met officer Lauren and shared with her some gifts. We prayed and again connected on a human level. It was truly astonishing how appreciate both sets of officers were for the thought, time and act of kindness Free & Fit provided through the inspiration of sharing the miracle of thanksgiving. We connected on a level of gratitude and respect which helped us feel more closer in community, connected to each other and not alone in the work of servicing our fellow neighbours in our own communities.
Finally, my third visit was to the Charlotte Airport where I serve as Chaplain and I was able to connect with officers whom I know more personally and could share with them our gratitude for their service. We connected, chatted and prayed for the passengers travelling through the airport and the police on and off duty. It was touching, personal and well received by both officers Mike and Elizabeth.
Today as we gather around the Thanksgiving table perhaps we can share one moment to pray for our men and women in blue who serve our local communities. All men and women who serve across our emergency services need our prayers as they enter into the busy and chaotic holiday season. Please give thanks today, for all men and women who help our lives to remain safe and protected from harm and danger in our local neighborhoods. Give thanks to God for our Emergency Service Teams! Thank you Jesus! Hallelujah!
Closing Prayer
Thank you Lord for our Police, Fire, Hospitals, Doctors, Nurses, Medical Care professionals, civil servants and all men and women who serve our local communities. We especially pray for those who have to work today, for those who serve us on our holidays and those who seek to help us in our everyday lives to protect us, heal us and make us healthy. Thank you Jesus. Amen
