You know, often times when you endeavor to do something that you’ve never done before, you really have no idea of what to expect and last night was no exception.
Even though I didn’t really know how things would go at our Apron meal last night, I still had high expectations because we knew that God had led us to this place and this was what He wanted us to do. So as the evening went on, sure enough, things didn’t go like I thought they were going to go, in fact, they went better. As I sat down at the end of the day and looked at what had gone on, God’s fingerprints were everywhere. He had been there…
I also have to say that I have never been more proud to be apart of this church as I was last night. All those who served were such a positive example of what it means to be follower of Christ. Thanks for doing what you did. Thanks for being part of such an amazing church family! – Psalms 115 1:1

It doesn’t really seem like enough, does it? It seems that there should be more words to express to God how thankful we are to Him. I should be able to find them and then say them to Him but often times they escape me and what comes out is a simple “thanks”.
In reality, it’s not enough. In fact, God wants us to not only say how thankful we are but to live a life of thanksgiving. It reminds me of the verse in James 2 that tells us that our life of thanksgiving is lived out. It says that our ‘thanksgiving” alone is not enough but rather it must be accompanied by deeds that demonstrate to God how we feel about Him. I hope this season of thanksgiving turns into “thanksliving” for you and your family. Let’s do that together!
By the way, what are you thankful for?

I gotta say that I am just thrilled to have Doug Piatt on board with us here as our Community Life Minister. Having someone with his skill-set and incredible heart for people working alongside us will be an immediate blessing. His role of helping with the LifeGroups and the follow-up of our two big events this season (The Apron & The Living Christmas Tree) will be invaluable!
Even though he is just part-time, I know that he is already giving full-time effort to the Kingdom work here at Bedford Acres.
If you get a minute, shoot him an email at dpiatt@bedfordacres.com. I know that he’ll appreciate it.

Just a few days ago I happened to notice, by accident in fact, that a movie was opening called “I Heart Revolution” (Click the image to link to their site). I saw that it was made by Hillsong United and it immediately caught my eye because Hillsong is a church! But it’s not just a church, its also a movement of God’s people that began in Australia. If you know anything about them, you know what i’m talking about.
Then, someone linked me to this blog post that is all about the I-Heart Revolution from Hillsong. I want you to check it out today. (lovingtheleast.blogspot.com).
Don’t forget to watch the trailer for the Hillsong movie/documentary at the bottom of the post.
