And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in
the one body. And be thankful.
It is really nice in our automated world to have someone we can thank, especially
during this season of Advent and Christmas. I think it is sad that many people have a
feeling of gratitude, but they have no one to thank. We do have someone to thank.
So, let's share the joy of the coming of a savior, Jesus Christ, with others.

(Colossians 3:15
NRSV)
I remember reading about a teller at the drive-in window of a bank who was having
difficulty with the glaring sun. He lowered the shade. Behind the shade he could see
customers as they drove up, but they couldn't see him. As one woman drove in, the
teller punched the button. The money drawer opened just as the woman came to a
stop. She put her check in the drawer and the draw withdrew. Seconds later the
drawer rolled out again with her money in it. She took the money and stared at the
window. She couldn't see anybody. Then she said, "I know you are completely
automated, but I want to thank you anyway."
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I am very thankful! Amen.
