We Remember the Saints, Our Saints

The Christian Church Festival of ALL SAINTS is celebrated on November 1st.  It is a time for all Christians to remember the Saints.  This remembering is not only about the Saints with a capital S but also our own personal saints with a small s.  

This is a good and wholesome thing for all people to do.  Firstly, it pauses us as we rush through our life.  During this pause we are encouraged to consider all the blessings that we receive because of the contributions of others.  

Secondly, it is an opportunity for us to remember our loved ones who have died.  This personal remembering enriches us as we recall and cherish the memories of our family and friends who have died in the Lord. 

Thirdly, it makes it possible for us to reflect upon our own lives.  We are allowed to consider the many blessings daily granted to us.   It affords us an opportunity to offer our prayers and praise to God for his covenant with us. 

Finally, in our broadcast, we will look at the additional benefits that paying attention to our saints and all Saints gives to us.  It is a three dimensional blessing.
