Thoughts from daily Bible reading for today- November 26, 2009 A Grateful Nation… In that day you will say: "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.” Isaiah 12:4 A nation born out of the womb of religious liberty has much to thank Almighty God. We can thank Him that man's tyranny lives oceans away and we are free to worship, vote and treat our fellowman with civility and respect. “With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish” (Psalm 44:2).

Well it was a real nice weekend weather wise and etc. Manatee HS won a great playoff game in St Pete and now face another St Pete school this Friday at Hawkins Stadium. They have a real good chance at playing for the State Championship. Florida was on PPV and Bright House did not carry it.

It was ok but I would have rather watch it at home in my easy chair. Have a Blessed and day and be a Blessing to someone today. Encouraging Words “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” ( Psalm 100:4-5
