Good Morning Father,
Day 20 of the 21 days of Prayer and Fasting. "Thanksgiving Day" We are compelled to give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Reminded that in my distress I prayed to the LORD, and the LORD answered me and set me free. That the LORD is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? Yes, the LORD is for me; he will help me...
Thanksgiving Day, one of our annual holidays in our nation, I love it when the nation has an opportunity to celebrate together. Yet, I long for Christmas, a reminder of the greatest gift ever given. The day I opened that gift, my life changed forever. From that day, to this day...I have reason to give thanks... I reflect on these two power words...THANK YOU! One of the first manners we teach our children is...say...THANK YOU when someone gives you something...
Feeling a little childlike this morning...Thank you that I can see, hear, smell and taste. Thank you for opening my eyes this morning so I can see your goodness, thank you for the breath of life given to me another day, thank you that I could brush my teeth and bathe my body, thank you that I could enjoy my breakfast, thank you that I have family to love me, thank you for a loving husband, that adores me as I am, thank you for sons that desire time with their mama, thank you for my dog, Simba who is never in a bad mood:), thank you for allowing me to use my gifts in service, thank you for laughter, thank you for joy, thank you for peace, thank you for my brothers and sisters in Christ who daily add to my life, thank you for a home to live in, for good food, for a body that can still run and jump, thank you for placing words in my heart that speak life and not death. Thank you for the assurance that You are for me...
No matter what, we will always have reasons to give thanks...
