Friends I hope you are
staying warm these days. We have a great deal of ice to deal with around here.
I can’t say I like it that much. Actually Miss Avery is waiting for Spring so
we can get her out of the house more and into the world of adventure which is
there for her to explore. She is very talkative these days.
I hope you have a great day my friend and be blessed.

Colossians 1:1-3
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
To the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
Ever stopped to examine the content of your personal prayer life? How often do we find ourselves praying for other people and for the Lord to bless their lives like we want Him to bless ours? Furthermore how often do we find ourselves thanking God for those people? Paul starts out most of his letters with terms of gratitude toward the recipients. This is a pattern for us to follow.
Right in the beginning of this letter to Colosse, Paul declares who he is, his position and authority to be writing the letter, who is working with him, and finally who the letter is written to. There is a quick blessing and a thank you to the people, which is expounded upon in the following verses. We just want to grab hold of the message for us in how we are to pray.
Pray to the Lord always, give thanks for all He does, and in all times and seasons never cease praying. Do not cease to pray for those who have been in your life as a blessing from heaven. But after you pray thank the Lord for them, and after that go to them and give them your thanks. Tell the people you love and know that you think about them with thankfulness to the Father. So get on your knees and pray and do it with thanks.
I hope you have a great day my friend and be blessed.
