It's all in our perspective One day a passerby saw a homeless man on the roadside. He stopped for a moment to hand him some loose change and casually said "God bless you, my friend." "I thank God," said the homeless man, "I am never unhappy." "What do you mean?" the passerby asked. "Well," he said, "when the sun is out, I thank God. When it rains, I thank God. When I am full, I thank God and when I am hungry, I thank God. And, since God's will is my will, and whatever pleases Him pleases me, why should I say I am unhappy when I am not?" The man looked at him in astonishment and asked, "Who are you?" "I am a King," said he. "Where, then, is your Kingdom?" asked the man. "In my heart." The homeless man replied. Yes, we can have nothing, yet have it all. So often, we focus on what we have and forget who we are. The two are not related at all—what we have or don't have has nothing to do with who we are. The Word says that we are kings and priests and so it is. Let's give all our concerns to the Lord and see ourselves as He does— Kings and Priests. Thank God in every circumstance and there we will find our victory. Give Thanks Thanksgiving is a perfect time to stop for a moment once a year and remember to give thanks. It's a time to be grateful for one's health, family, friends, job, home and having food on the table. "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him" (Colossians 3:17 NIV). Have a blessed day. We invite all of you to come and worship with us.

Your prayer might be the one that turns the tide for someone. Paul wrote, "Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 5:20). There's no limit to the things we can thank God for. Here are a few: we can thank God for our spiritual blessings, physical blessings and our trials. Whether we express our thanksgiving in the worship center or in the prayer closet, the important thing is that we recognize the good hand of God upon our lives and gloriIva Union Church Sunday school 9:30 a.m. fy him for his mercy and kindfollowed by a short worship ness through Jesus Christ.

Dr. Robert Asa, Minister porter Jesus called a little child unto him in the midst of them. He said, "Verily, I say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold all things are become new." Jesus said, "Ye must be born again. Unless you are born again, a man cannot enter into the kingdom of God." God loves you. Thank God for the blood of the Lamb at the cross of Calvary. Church website:www. glezenrevivalcenter@yahoo. com Church website: www. glezenrevivalcenter.net.
