Can you believe it. it’s right upon us – tomorrow is Blackfridayeen – you know, the day before Black Friday. Hopefully with all of this excitement around the day, you still find a few moments of time to be grateful for all the blessings that you have been bestowed with.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, Psalm 103:2 ESV
Well, I missed them- the doorbusters that it is. I decided to stay in the warmth of my covers and listen to the rain instead of getting up and pushing through the crowds to save a few dollars on the doorbusters.
Actually, the more commercials and emails I have received this week about all of this great deals, the more anxious and nervous I was becoming. I have got to get out there I thought. I have got to save all this money. If I don’t, I will miss out. But miss out on what? I was almost convinced that I need to go buy something, but I resisted the call of Black Friday!
So, I have stayed home this morning, to rest and relax. If you are out there shopping, remember to keep focus and let your light shine, as always!
Happy Black Friday!
32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 (New International Version, ©2010)
Its Black Friday, and I am up writing emails, not hitting the stores for the deals! There is something about waiting in line outside of a store in the middle of the night, in the cold weather, waiting to go in to shop that’s appealing, however, some of the deals out there are pretty impressive. Of course tweets like this from WRCB show some of the madness of this day:

NEWSROOM: Just learned Starbucks on Hamilton Place opened at 2:30 on this Black Friday morning.
Anyway, I hope no matter what shopping events you get into today, that you remember that you are of Christ, and to continue bath this Thanksgiving weekend in praise for the One who provided it all.
Psalm 63:1-8 (New International Version)
1 O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.4 I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.6 On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.7 Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
