Thankful

tlc4women1 Comment

I am thankful to be an American. Having traveled to various countries I appreciate being an American. I am afforded great things in this country even the ability to disagree with its policies at times. This is a truly great place to be from.

I am thankful for life. The ability to breathe, to love, to walk with a purpose and a destiny set before me brings me great joy and peace. Not everything is perfect in my life but I am in the will of the Father and I am blessed to be so.

I am thankful for health. I am not suffering with any disease. I am grateful that I feel well. I am thankful that we have fresh food to eat, eastern and western medicine when needed.

I am thankful for my family. Everyone is safe and in their homes and that makes me grateful. I am thankful that my adult children are working. I love to see my son in such a great relationship and I am grateful that he has chosen someone who fits in our family. I am thankful for my home. I love the warmth of my home and I am ever so grateful to have a roof over my head. It is a blessing. I recognize it.

I am thankful for my friends. I have a group of people around me who I can be honest with. We love deep and are loyal. I am thankful for work. I am blessed to work a lot of hours in a service that is worthwhile to me.

I am thankful for my church. Thankful that I work alongside great people of God. This group of people wants to see the Kingdom of Heaven touch earth and have sold-out to do so. I am forever thankful for my church. It wasn’t where I was born but it has allowed me with grace and mercy to grow up.

Above all and forever I am thankful to serve God. He is everything to me. I don’t want to be without Him. All the other things I mentioned above can be gone in a heartbeat. I can screw up and lose it all but I don’t want to be without God. He is the foundation on which I have chosen to build my life and although it isn’t always easy to serve him, it’s always necessary. I love him with my whole heart and I am beyond grateful that I was called to serve.

What are you thankful for? Sometimes, it’s great to sit down and list them.

Psalm 95:1. Come, let’s shout praises to God, raise the roof for the Rock who saved us!
2. Let’s march into his presence singing praises, lifting the rafters with our hymns!
3. And why? Because God is the best, High King over all the gods.
4. In one hand he holds deep caves and caverns, in the other hand grasps the high mountains.
5. He made Ocean – he owns it! His hands sculpted Earth!
6. So come, let us worship: bow before him, on your knees before God, who made us!
7. Oh yes, he’s our God, and we’re the people he pastures, the flock he feeds. Drop everything and listen, listen as he speaks:
8. “Don’t turn a deaf ear as in the Bitter Uprising, As on the day of the Wilderness Test,
9. when your ancestors turned and put me to the test.
10. For forty years they watched me at work among them, as over and over they tried my patience. And I was provoked – oh, was I provoked! ‘Can’t they keep their minds on God for five minutes? Do they simply refuse to walk down my road?’
11. Exasperated, I exploded, ‘They’ll never get where they’re headed, never be able to sit down and rest.'”-“The Message”
