November Taffy Talk - Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends!
This is Wyatt. I am Taffy Taylor’s soccer buddy and good friend.
You can find out more about me on this website. Just click on
Team Taffy and look up my name. It won’t take you long to
figure out that I’ve had a rough road in my life.
Taffy’s uncle Joe told me once about some other guys who
lived long ago in the Bible and had it pretty rough. I think
their story can be found in Acts 16. Their names were Paul
and Silas, and they were going around telling everybody
about Jesus Christ.
Some people didn’t like their message about Jesus so they
beat Paul and Silas and threw them in jail. The amazing part
is that the two guys didn’t whine, cry, or complain. They didn’t
get mad at God either. They got on their knees in that jail
and sang praises to God. They actually thanked God for
all of His goodness.
Wow! That’s pretty awesome to me! It helps me realize
that no matter what has happened to me in the past, God
really does love me. No matter how bad stuff looks behind me,
Uncle Joe says that good things are ahead if I will only praise
God and thank Him.
Since this is the month we all celebrate Thanksgiving, I am
really trying to totally thank God for as many good things
as I can. Why not join me? Let’s put our mistakes and all
of the bad things that have happened behind us. Let’s
be like Paul and Silas and praise and thank God just because
He is good and He is faithful.
It’s been great to talk to you and encourage you. Get your
Bible sometime and read Acts 16: 22-40 to find out what
happened to Paul and Silas. Remember too, we are all in
this together, trying to do this life the God way!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wyatt
