Nov 24 - Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We at FUMC West Plains are so thankful for the love, care, generosity and faithfulness of all of our members.  We hope and pray that God will continue to richly bless each of you in the coming year.

As we prepare for the Advent season, we wait in quiet anticipation for a new revelation and insight of who God is, and how He is working in our lives every day.  We are so thankful for the many ways that God has demonstrated His love for us over the last year!

Our prayer is that each of you will have a wonderful holiday filled with family, friends, and the music of God's presence in each of your lives.

Now for a couple of housekeeping notes about our Advent devotional blog.

First: If you would like to receive email updates when a new devotion is posted, please put your email address in the box at the right.  You will receive a confirmation email from follow.it.  Just follow the instructions to confirm that you want to receive this feed.  You will then receive an email from follow.it every time a new devotion is posted.  

For each devotion there will be a scripture reference to read, and a key verse.  Whenever you see a scripture highlighted in blue (for example Psalm 145) this indicates a link.  Hover your mouse pointer over the reference, and click on it to read the scripture.  I will highlight the key verse as below:

The eyes of all wait upon thee; 

    and thou givest them their meat in due season.

Thou openest thine hand, 

    and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

Psalm 145:15-16

With almost every post there will be artwork included like the picture above.  I will also try to always include a song from YouTube like the one below. Just click on the image to hear the song.  I hope you enjoy both the artwork/pictures and the songs.  I would appreciate any feedback in the comments.



I hope that you enjoy our Advent devotional.  May God richly bless each of you as we anticipate the glorious coming of our Lord and Savior.
