1 Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV)
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of
God in Christ Jesus for you.
Three times a month, Jermaine Washington and Michelle
Stevens get together for what they call a "gratitude lunch." With
good reason! Washington donated a kidney to Stevens, whom he described as
"just a friend." They met at work where they used to have lunch
together. One day Michelle wept as she spoke about waiting on a kidney donor
list for 11 months. She was being sustained by kidney dialysis, but suffered
chronic fatigue and blackouts and was plagued by joint pain. Because Washington
couldn't stand the thought of watching his friend die, he gave her one of his
kidneys. Michelle likes to say “If you've got something great to be thankful
for, having a "gratitude lunch" is a great way to celebrate.” When we think about the great thing Jesus did
for us lets take the time to have a “Gratitude lunch” and thank Him for the
great things He does for us each and every day.
Dear Lord, we thank You for dying on the cross and
raising from the dead to take away our sins. Help us always be grateful for the
gift and for You. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
