I have so much to be
thankful for, I just don't know where to start. I am so very
thankful for this blog and all the people I have met here. I am
thankful for every single one of the followers here, the ones who comment and the ones who don't. I want you all to know I prayer for every single one of you. I may not know your name or anything about you but that is ok for God knows you and He loves you. He knows your concerns and the trials you go through. Isn't He great?
I am so
thankful for my family. My husband, my daughter and my son. There are challenges and trials that we face every single day and I am
thankful for all of them.
1 Chronicles 29:10-13 NIV
“Praise be to you, LORD,
the God of our father Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, LORD, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength to exalt and give strength to all.
Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.
I am so
thankful for the animals that God has given me to care for. We have 30 cows, 12 horses, 5 dogs and 3 cats. Countless wild birds, coyotes, bears, cougars and moose.
Psalm 145:7
NIV
They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
I am so
thankful for the land the Father has provided me with. Wide open spaces to share with the youth that seek to explore and know God.
2 Corinthians 9:11-15
NIV
You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
I am so
thankful for my church family. An older group of people who care and are grandparents to my kids. We are not lacking.
Psalm 31:19
NIV
How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you.
I am so
thankful for all that God has provided me with. Even though I go through troubles, He is always there to listen to me. He is always caring and loving on me. God is so good, in the bad times and the good times.
Psalm 95:1-6
KJV
"O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker."
But most of all I am
thankful for
Jesus and His gift to us on the cross. Where would we be without Him? We would be lost and wandering around looking for our purpose. Praise God, that He loves us so much to give us His Son. Now that is something to be
thankful for 24/7!!
Colossians 2:6-7
NIV
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Blessings,
