Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts From an Amazing Day...

• We served over 90 families this week through our food pantry ministry.
• I am thankful for all who participated in the "bags of blessings" ministry. We will be distributing the bags Tuesday, if you want to help show up at PBCC at 10:00 a.m.
• Preached on gratitude this morning - it is good to have a thankful spirit in November, but it is God honoring to always be thankful.
• I cannot get over the fact we have a received an unshakable kingdom.
• This morning as people answered the invitation I could not help but think how God is pleased with brokenness.
• In fact, I am reminded of the statement God can heal broken pieces as long as he has all the pieces - let's not hold back from God.
• If we really focus on what is happening at the Lord's Supper, how can taking it weekly ever become routine?
• Brianne did a WONDERFUL job this morning with her solo!
• I hope we continue to "Take Inventory" everyday - I believe it will call all of us to live a life of gratitude.
• In light of taking inventory remember these facts I share this morning... 
• If you woke up this morning with more health than illness… you are more blessed than the one million people who will not survive this week.
• If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of isolation, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation… you are ahead of 500 million people in this world.
• If you attend a church service without fear of harassment, arrest torture or death… you are more fortunate than 3 million people around the world today.
• If your family owns more than one Bible, you are ahead of 78% of the world.
• If you can read your Bible, you are more blessed than 2 billion in the world who cannot read at all.
• If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, a place to sleep and lose change in your pocket or home… you are richer than 75% of the world.
• I am really looking forward to Thursday!
