39:24 It's wonderful, it's wonderful. 39:26 You know, you, our audience, you might be thinking there are 39:31 things in my life that just aren't the way I want them to 39:36 be. 39:41 according to His riches and glory. 39:44 Through Christ Jesus you will have your needs met. 39:48 Just trust Him and know and be thankful. 39:50 Think about the things that He's done for you throughout 39:53 this whole year. 39:55 Think about how you're still here. 39:58 I mean, so many people around us are going to sleep and we're 40:02 still here. 40:03 We praise God for that. 40:05 There's so many things to be thankful for. 40:08 So we want you to think about the way God has blessed you 40:11 this year and know that there's more to come. 40:15 Just hold on to Him. 40:17 And every day, every day you should preach the Gospel to 40:21 yourself. 40:22 You should think about what God has done, what Jesus has done 40:26 and look at how He gave His life for us that we will have. 40:33 We have eternal life right now in Him. 40:38 So hold on, count your blessings and know that Jesus 40:43 has more for you, more for you than you could ever, ever 40:49 expect. 40:50 He's got great gifts for you. 40:52 Amen. 40:54 He's in accounting. 40:56 Amen. 40:58 Again, just love the music. 41:00 And to me, that's just all a part of Thanksgiving is 41:03 spending time with family and being a part and enjoying music 41:06 together as a family. 41:07 I'm just now entering 3ABN's accounting department. 41:10 This is a really busy place. 41:12 And again, we appreciate the funds that you send to 3ABN. 41:16 I'm here with Jason Bergman, our CFO. 41:18 How are you doing, Jason?

42:12 Well, thank you for asking. 42:13 You know, there's so many things to be thankful for. 42:16 You know, I think of my wife and my daughter. 42:18 I think of my extended family, and I think of the 3ABN family, 42:23 working with a great administrative team like 42:26 yourself and Jill and Danny. 42:30 You know, it's just, there's lots of joy, but something that 42:34 really speaks to my heart is the joy of forgiveness. 42:38 And when you think of what Jesus has done for us and 42:41 forgave our sins, you know, if you read in Psalms 23, it 42:46 really talks about the joy of forgiveness. 42:48 And when you think of that, you know, you have peace. 42:52 You have freedom. 42:54 And that's really, in this time of life that we live in, having 42:58 freedom and knowing that Jesus forgave our sins and accepting 43:01 that, that He forgave us, is super powerful. 43:04 But I think reciprocating that and forgiving others also gives 43:08 them freedom. 43:09 And I think in a time that we're living now, it's, you 43:12 know, that is a great attribute. 43:14 It gives joy to my heart that Jesus forgave me. 43:17 And we can forgive others as well. 43:19 You know, that's excellent, Jason. 43:20 I like that because sometimes when we don't forgive, that can 43:22 hinder us, you know, in what we can do for the Lord. 43:25 Again, I appreciate you, Jason. 43:26 It's a privilege and really fun to actually work with you, 43:29 Jason. 43:32 And I appreciate your team as well. 43:34 But thank you, Jason. 43:35 Happy Thanksgiving. 43:35 Happy Thanksgiving. 43:37 All right. 43:40 here, another hardworking team. 43:41 So, all right, let's see here. 43:43 Got a great team. 43:44 Thank you, Luis. 43:44 He's walking backwards. 43:46 And I got Ben over here on audio. 43:47 And thank you, Curtis. 43:48 We'll go over here. 43:49 Let's see who we got out here. 43:50 We've got Valera, it looks like. 43:52 Valera, how are you?

48:13 Like He did to Moses. 48:15 So she said, well, I do have a couple acres of property. 48:19 It's on the back end of, you know, my property, but if it 48:22 would work, well, it turned out, of course, working. 48:24 It was the uplink, and we don't have time to go on all that 48:27 story. 48:28 But it reminded me, so we started donations. 48:30 People would say, you know, I have things I'd like to donate. 48:33 So we'd say, well, some people's junk is another 48:35 person's treasure, right? 48:37 So I remember that we got, I don't know, it's 20-some years 48:40 ago, we got a little electric toaster, and this thing was one 48:45 of the first toasters ever electric, and it was early 48:48 1900s, like when most people didn't even have it, at least 48:51 in my family's world, we didn't have electricity. 48:55 And she said, you know, this was, I think, like my mother's, 48:59 and, you know, this lady was 80s or 90s now, this was my 49:03 mother's, and I didn't know what to do with it. 49:06 It's not, you know, I don't use it, of course, anymore. 49:09 I thought about just throwing it away, and she said, I heard 49:13 your program, and I decided, well, you know what, I'll just 49:16 give it to them, and if it's not worth anything, they can 49:19 just throw it away. 49:20 And when we ended up putting it up, I guess, on eBay, people 49:24 wanted it, they were betting on it all over, and it brought 49:26 quite a bit of money, because it was something old, and yet 49:29 she was literally thinking about throwing it away. 49:32 So the donations, which you have, maybe you say, well, 49:35 that's, I'm going to throw it away, or I, you know, you can 49:38 always contact us here at the Donation Center, and tell us 49:42 what you got, and it can be such a blessing. 49:44 Yes, that's a great idea, really, and we've seen over the 49:47 years, just, again, what you said, some people's trash is 49:51 other people's treasure, so you never know how valuable 49:54 something could be. 49:58 what you have. 49:59 It's a blessing. 50:00 All righty. 50:01 Well, let's do another song. 50:03 Okay, we can do that. 50:10 While the world looks upon me As I struggle along They say I 50:20 have nothing But they are so wrong For in my heart I'm 50:30 rejoicing Oh, how I wish they could see Thank you, Lord For 50:41 your blessings on me There's a roof up above me I've a good 50:54 place to sleep There's food on my table And shoes on my feet 51:07 You gave me your love, Lord, and a fine family. 51:18 Thank you, Lord, for your blessings on me. 51:25 Nice song, isn't it? 51:27 Yeah, it sounds great, too. 51:32 Now I know that I'm not wealthy, and these clothes, 51:40 they're not new. 51:43 I don't have much money, but, Lord, I do, and to me that's 51:54 all that matters, though this world may not agree. 52:01 But thank you, Lord, for your many blessings on me. 52:13 There's a roof up above me. 52:18 I've a good place to sleep. 52:23 There's food on my table and shoes on my feet. 52:32 You gave me your love, Lord, and a fine family. 52:43 Thank you, Lord, for your blessings on me. 52:50 Tag it. 52:54 Thank you, Lord, for your blessings on me. 53:09 All right, speak a blessing, Ryan. 53:10 Speak a blessing. 53:12 Man, you know, the song I'm about to sing is a song I used 53:17 to sing with my family. 53:20 Everywhere we would go and we would travel, this was a part 53:22 of the Day Family concert, and it just became a very, it was a 53:26 simple song, still is a simple song, but a powerful message, 53:29 and it reminds us that, you know, we may be dealing with 53:32 stuff in our life. 53:33 We may have that mountain to climb, you know, those valleys 53:36 we find ourselves in, the trials, the troubles, those 53:39 cloudy days, but, you know, at the end of it all, we really 53:43 think it through. 53:44 We just simply can't complain because God is so good to us. 53:47 So that's the message of the song. 53:49 Listen to it. 53:54 Oh, I have bad days And I have hills to climb Then I have sad 54:08 days And then a weary mind Yet wept 54:22 And I think these things all out All of the good things 54:32 outweigh the bad things, I can't complain. 54:39 And here's why. 54:40 God is so good to me, he is so good to me, more than this 54:56 world could be. 54:59 He's so good to me, his spirit came to me and gave me victory. 55:16 God is so good to me, that I can't complain. 55:31 Well, sometimes the clouds hang low, and I'd like to see them 55:41 go. 55:43 And I ask the question, Lord, why so much pain? 55:55 Oh, but he knows what's best for me, although I cannot see. 56:07 I just say thank you, Lord, because I can't complain. 56:19 God is so good to me, he is so good to me, more than this 56:34 world could be. 56:37 He's so good to me, his spirit came to me and gave me victory. 56:56 My God is so good to me, I can't complain. 57:11 Our God is so good to us, that we can't complain. 57:28 Thank you, Jesus. 57:33 Wow, thank you, that is absolutely... 57:37 Yvonne is over here crying like little babies. 57:40 We're over here, but that's anointing the Holy Spirit. 57:43 Well, I can't believe this hour is just about gone. 57:47 So, don't go away though, we're going to be back in just a moment. |
