Hogan<\/p><p><em>~ A Special Post ~<br \/><br \/><\/em>This is Thanksgiving Day, a wonderful day to enjoy family and friends, and to eat some very good food. (Ecclesiastes 2:24-25). It is also a time to remember the great blessings God has bestowed on our lives, and to then reflect on His great goodness toward us. What a kind and gracious Father we have, who has blessed us so, so much, and will continue to bless us in this life on earth, and forever and ever. <em>&#8220;Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.&#8221;<\/em> Psalm 23:6<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>As you know this blog is about the end times and Christ&#8217;s Kingdom. Indeed, there is much that can be said, and needs to be said about what will be taking place in our future. But to live for the Lord in the way He wants we need to not just know what will be happening, but we need to possess the godly character He speaks about in His word. Over the course of the next year my desire is to write a number of articles about the character of a Christian. The first is given to you here &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wp.me\/P8gjBz-Gx\">&#8220;Being Thankful &#8211; The Character of a Christian.&#8221;<\/a><br \/><br \/><\/p><p>Happy Thanksgiving!\u00a0 <em>&#8220;The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.&#8221;<\/em> 2 Corinthians
