According to a legend when Jesus returned to heaven following his death on the cross and resurrection from the tomb, the angels gathered in amazement. They gazed at the wounds in his hands and feet, and shuddered to recall his suffering.
Finally Gabriel spoke: "Master, you suffered terribly down there. Do they know and appreciate the extent of your sacrifice?"
"No," said Jesus. "Not yet. Right now only a handful of people in Palestine know."
"Then what have you done to let everyone else know?" asked Gabriel.
"I've asked Peter, James and John and a few others to spread the news. They will tell others who will tell others until the message spreads to the ends of the earth."
But Gabriel, knowing the nature of human beings, asked, "What is plan B?"
"I have no plan B," replied Christ. "There is no alternative strategy. I'm counting on them."
Twenty centuries later, he still has no other plan. He's counting on you and me.
In the next week your invitation and prayers can make a difference. The Bible keeps encouraging us to "make the most of every opportunity". We are a part of God's plan to see other people come to know Christ. Jesus is counting on you and me. What will your involvement be this week?

Thanksgiving
Matthew Henry, the famous Bible scholar, was once accosted by thieves and robbed of his purpose. He wrote these words in his diary:
“Let me be thankful first because I was never robbed before; second although they took my purse, they did not take my life; third because, although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth, because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed.”
Thanksgiving is possible only for those who take time to remember. It is a course from which we never graduate.
Thanksgiving is the memory of the heart. It is a sign we have been moved by the grace of God.
On this Harvest Sunday be thankful for everything God gives us and everything he keeps away.
1Thes 5:18
..give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
