The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Leviticus 7:11-18, “Now this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be presented to the LORD.
12 ‘If (anyone) offers it by way of thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes of well stirred fine flour mixed with oil.
13 ‘With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving, he shall present his offering with cakes of leavened bread.
14 ‘Of this he shall present one of every offering as a contribution to the LORD; it shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.
15 ‘Now as for the flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings, it shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it over until morning.
16 ‘But if the sacrifice of his offering is a votive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day what is left of it may be eaten;
17 but what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.
18 ‘So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings should ever be eaten on the third day, he who offers it will not be accepted, and it will not be reckoned to his benefit. It shall be an offensive thing, and the person who eats of it will bear his own iniquity.”

Today is THANKSGIVING DAY! I trust that we all are truly thankful for the bountiful blessings that the LORD has bestowed upon us; for if we are truly thankful, the greatest offering we can give to Him is that of ourselves. The troubles and fears that we encounter throughout life are simply opportunities that we have for allowing the LORD to inject Himself into the multiple vicissitudes of our lives. Trust in the LORD emerges in and through His presence when we submit to His will. God bless you! You cannot escape the goodness of the LORD. He knows and controls it all! I love you and pray for you daily!

Love in Christ Jesus,
