Giving Thanks For All The Saints
Posted : 30 Aug, 2020 04:55 AM

When Paul wrote to the Philippians, he wrote to "all the saints in Christ Jesus." He said "I thank my God...in every prayer..for you all making the request with joy."



Paul thanked God for the saints in many of his letters. He thanked God for how He was working in the Corinthians, even though Paul had to admonish and correct them for serious problems. I need to work harder to be like that, thanking God for every Christian. If Paul can thank God for every failing Christian, then I should too.

Excellent reminder AboundingGrace.

We forget about the value of each and every saint, especially those who are just plain crotchety.

But I’ve found that even some of them lighten up after while if you keep greeting them nicely



I’m reminded of a little rhyme the late Henry Brandt once quoted



Oh to dwell forever with the saints in heaven above,

that will be glory,

but to dwell here below,

with the saints that we know

that’s a another story!!
