We celebrate Thanksgiving Day in three days. I have talked about being thankful and now I am going to express my list of what I am thankful for this year. I encourage you to set a little time aside and begin to list all the things that you are thankful for this year. I am thankful that God loved me and continues to love me. I am thankful that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that God accepted me and now I am a child of God. I am thankful that God is bigger, much bigger then my biggest problem and when I trust Him He has always been faithful. I am thankful that God has filled with the Holy Spirit and His power is made great in my weaknesses. I am thankful that I am a servant of the Most High God with His kingdom. I am thankful that I have experience victory and freedom as I walk with Christ. I am thankful for my church family. I am thankful for the privilege of serving King Jesus as one of His undershepherds of His church. I am thankful for His provisions within my life. I am thankful for a beautiful, godly wife who has been loving and patient with me. I am thankful for my four children and three grandchildren. I am thankful for my son-in-law who is a godly husband to my daughter. I am thankful for the health I have at this moment and the ability to enjoy golf and running and other types of recreation. I am thankful for the house that God has blessed my family with and the vehicles that we have and a lot of nice others toys of life. I am thankful that the things of life do not have a hold on my life and that Jesus is my source. I am thankful that in the midst of frustration that God continues to communicate His love and care to me. I am thankful for this day and the opportunities that is before me. I am thankful for the wisdom and guidance that He has promised to give to me. I am thankful for the faithfulness of the Lord to all His great and precious promises. I am thankful that most of my family will be able to be with us for Thanksgiving Day.
There is more I could have said but I trust I have inspired you to be more thankful for all things of life and not just the big things.
May the Lord bless all the family gatherings this Thursday on Thanksgiving Day.
