HAPPY THANKSGIVING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I wanted to send you wonderful Thanksgiving Day wishes. May you have a joyous time of celebration for all of the blessings God has sent us.

I also wanted to send an update on Lori.  She was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon. She was told she will not be able to put any weight on the leg for about four weeks. (I think I will have to tie her down to make her comply!)

May the sweet blessings of the Lord be showered on each and every one of you. I count it a blessing to have you in my life.

MESSAGE OF THE WEEK FOR SUNDAY NOVEMBER 13th

EPAPHRODITUS – A TRUE BIBLE HERO  PHILIPPIANS 2:25-30

25 Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need;
26 since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
27 For indeed he was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem;
30 because for the work of Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.

Dear Friends,

After my wife Joyce died in January 2015, I made a commitment to turn my grief into positive ministries.

God has richly blessed me with open doors of service beyond anything I have ever experienced before. I am including a current report of what God is allowing me to accomplish.

I am pastor of Tumwater Chapel of Grace. It is a small congregation that meets in a funeral chapel. Over the years I have been called upon to officiate at hundreds of funerals. It allows me to minister to families at a critical time in their life.

Our small congregation has had a profound ministry in reaching into prisons and assisting individuals and families that are destitute. Since October 2000 I send out a Daily-E-Votional to thousands of subscribers five days a week. In addition, I record a daily reading that covers the bible in one year. I also have started recording a weekly sermon that I send out on Saturdayand Sunday. I have written and published five books in the past 18 months and if my memory is correct that makes a total of eight books.

The important thing is for each of us to share Jesus and His love with everyone we meet.  Please greet one another with the sweet spirit of love that I feel for each of you. I may not be able to see you personally in this life, but I eagerly look forward to a wonderful “Homecoming Celebration” that will continue through eternity.

Blessings D​ear H​earts!

MESSAGE OF THE WEEK "BELLY ACHING BELIEVERS NOT WELCOME"  TUMWATER CHAPEL PASTOR CECIL A THOMPSON SUNDAY NOV 06, 2016

BELLY ACHING BELIEVERS NOT WELCOME

PHILIPPIANS 2:14-19

14 Do all things without complaining and disputing,15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

17 Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state.

THE SANDS OF ETERNITY! Ecclesiastes 3:11 Pastor Cecil A. Thompson November 4, 2016 DAILY-E-VOTIONAL

Thompson reading through the Bible in one year! Click on the following link: http://pastorcecilthebibleinoneyear.blogspot.com/ THE SANDS OF ETERNITY! Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." Years ago I heard a minister tell of an incident in a hospital elevator where he had just come from visiting a very ill patient. A young man overheard him speak about eternity and, perhaps wanting to mock his view, asked the minister where eternity was. The minister told the boy to place his hand on his chest to feel the beat of his heart. "Young man, eternity is one heartbeat away!" That may answer where eternity is or at least how close we are to it, but just how long is eternity? Our daughter was in the hospital near death. One afternoon as the two of us spoke quietly, she said she felt she was cheated out of half of her life. She went on to say that Grandpa was 74 when he died and here she was just 35. That evening as I drove into the garage I noticed that the car had been bringing in sand. I took out a sheet of typing paper and swept up some of the sand. I then sat at the kitchen table and counted out 74 grains. Some were larger than others, but all of them were quite small. I placed the 74 grains of sand in a tiny sample perfume bottle. The next day as I entered her room I placed the bottle on her bed. When she asked what it was I told her it was Grandpa. I asked her to imagine the earth being nothing but fine sand. Each grain represented one year of eternity. The 74 grains in the bottle represented Grandpa's life. Compared to the entire globe of sand it was nothing. Whether a person's life lasted long or short, compared to eternity it was nothing. It is what we do with the years we are given that matters. We can choose to confess our sins and accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior or we can continue our own willful way and suffer the dreadful consequences prepared for the lost.
