How full is your life?  Our calendars are full.  But are our hearts full?  Chuck Swindoll said, “The more busy we are, the more empty we become.”  God wills that we live full lives.  Full of God, in Christ, we are joyful, prayerful, thankful people.  But how do we give thanks in all circumstances?  Our trust in God’s providence makes us thankful, even when our external circumstances seem to defy our gratitude.  I am not always grateful for the things which happen in life, but I am always thankful that we are in Christ, and so we are in God’s hands. Message based on 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18Quotes:Rowan Williams: For Christians, to share in the Eucharist, the Holy Communion, means to live as people who know that they are always guests – that they have been welcomed and that they are wanted. It is, perhaps, the most simple thing that we can say about Holy Communion, yet it is still supremely worth saying. In Holy Communion, Jesus Christ tells us that he wants our company.Unknown: Mr. Spurgeon if Jesus saves me he
