Thanksgiving...that's a HURTING word? No, but for some families, it's not a HAPPY word! Grieving families, broken families, estranged families, or people with NO family--it does hurt even more around the holidays. But wait a minute--is that ALL Thanksgiving is? Is it all about HUMAN relationships, however cherished, stressed, or strained? Come to the Well--for with all the interest in today's scary stock markets, even "The Well" has turned into a heavenly BANK this week, would you believe! It's thankfully STABLE--and it's open for business! Let's go!

THE THANK BANK... Its Provisions!

T rustworthy Word

"...there hath not failed one word of all his good promises...
(1 Kings 8:56 KJV)."

H ealing Love

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds...
sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise...(Psalm 147:3, 7 KJV)."

A wesome Peace

""Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6,7 KJV)."

N ever-ending Joy

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full (John 15:11 KJV)."

K eeping Power

"Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation...
(1 Peter 1:5 KJV)."

S aving Grace

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:10 KJV)."

The THANK Bank...Its Top Ten Policies!

It is owned by a reputable firm--it's been in business a long time!

It is convenient--only a prayer away!

The Partnership and staff take personal interest in you!

Anyone may apply. No client is ever turned away!

No indoor/outdoor carpeting; walkways are paved with gold!

No waiting in line--and the tellers don't make mistakes!

No elevator music - piped-in music feature by angelic choir!

Your account is secure--
it will never close, unless YOU choose to close it!

It will never go bankrupt; its resources are never depleted--

for it is not dependent on the world's economy, thank God!

It is open 24 hours a day--and even on HOLIDAYS!

The THANK BANK...Its Promises!

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19 KJV)."

This bank promises to continually deposit Heaven's riches in unlimited supply, into your personal account.
Will you, in turn, disburse those riches to a needy world?

"Freely ye have received, freely give (Matthew 10:8 KJV)."

And that's just a NOTE or two--from heaven's bank to your account!

"As ye have, therefore, received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him, rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding with thanksgiving (Colossians 2:7 KJV)."
