凯西·凯勒的感恩节寄语

嗨。

Hi.

我是凯西·凯勒。

I'm Kathy Keller.

每年当我们迎来感恩节时，我们都会停下来思考上帝以何等恩典供应我们的一切——无论是满足我们基本的物质需求，还是通过他的儿子耶稣基督在灵性上赐予我们喜乐、盼望与更新。

Each year when we get to thanksgiving, we pause to recognize all the ways God has been so gracious in his provision, both for our basic physical needs and for the ways that he provides for us spiritually to give us joy, hope, and renewal through his son, Jesus Christ.

如果我们不将目光聚焦于上帝和他的良善，感恩节很容易流于形式或变得空洞。

Thanksgiving has the potential to become rote or generic if we don't put our focus on God and his goodness.

我鼓励你们把这一天当作默想上帝话语的契机，遵循它指引我们去认识上帝的全部属性——他是我们的力量与盾牌、帮助者、避难所、救主和朋友。

I want to encourage you to use the day as an opportunity to meditate on his word and the direction it gives us to see God and all he is, our strength and shield, our helper, our refuge, our savior and friend.

我知道自己会像你们一样被火鸡馅料、土豆泥和宾客们淹没，但看在老天份上，哪怕躲进浴室五分钟也好，总要感恩一下吧。

And I know I'm gonna be just as much as you are up to my ears and stuffing and mashed potatoes and guests and everything, but just go lock yourself in the bathroom for five minutes, for heaven's sakes, and be thankful or something.

请听《诗篇》28章6-7节的经文：

Listen to these words from Psalm 28 verses six and seven.

耶和华是应当称颂的，因为他听了我恳求怜悯的声音。

Blessed be the Lord for he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.

耶和华是我的力量，是我的盾牌。

The Lord is my strength and my shield.

我的心倚靠他，我就得帮助；我的心欢跃。

In him, my heart trusts, and I am helped and my heart exalts.

我要用诗歌颂赞他。

And with my song, I give thanks to him.

这些经文有力地提醒我们拥有的一切，因为耶稣如此爱我们，甚至为我们舍命。

These verses are a powerful reminder of all we have because Jesus loved us so much that he gave his life for us.

我鼓励你思考上帝供应你的一切方式，我相信上帝的灵会因专注于他奇妙的爱而产生喜乐、赞美和感恩。

I encourage you to think of all the ways God provides for you, and I trust that God's spirit will generate joy, praise, and thanksgiving that comes from focusing on his amazing love.

请加入我们，一同为上帝正在做的一切，以及过去一年通过福音与生命所成就的一切献上感恩。

Please join us as we give thanks for all God is doing and for all he's done through gospel and life this past year.

我们非常感恩从收到的信息中得到的鼓励，这些信息告诉我们上帝如何通过你们和这项事工使人信靠上帝。

We're so grateful for the encouragement we get from the messages we receive telling us how God is bringing people to trust God through you and through this ministry.

所以当我说今年我们有太多值得感恩的事时，这绝非一句客套话。

So it's not merely a throwaway kind of statement when I say we have so much to be thankful for this year.

我们确实如此。

We really do.

我想特别指出2025年我们‘福音生活’团队感恩的几件事：

And I want to note just a few things our team here at Gospel in Life gives thanks for in 2025.

感恩超过214,000人订阅我们的季刊和邮件，感恩全球数百万听众收听我们的播客，感恩成千上万人将我们的资源分享给他人，以及284,000次《质疑基督教》播客下载量——这些探索或传播福音的人们。

For the more than 214,000 people who receive our quarterly journal and emails, for the millions of people who've listened to our podcast around the world, for the thousands of people who shared one of our resources with someone, and for the 284,000 downloads of the Questioning Christianity podcast by people exploring or sharing the gospel.

我谨代表‘福音生活’全体同工，也为你们向神献上感恩——为你们的祷告、奉献，以及如何将我们的内容使命性地分享给生命中的每个人。

On behalf of everyone here at Gospel in Life, we also give thanks to God for you, for your prayers, your gifts, and how you're missionally sharing our content with those in your life.

感谢你们的同工，让我们能携手以基督之爱的信息触达他人。

Thank you for your partnership as together we endeavor to reach others with a message of Christ's love.

愿荣耀归于神。

Thanks be to God.

祂藉着基督改变了一切。

He's changed everything through Christ.

祝您感恩节喜乐。

Have a joyful thanksgiving.
