Grateful

 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus, (I Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV).

All around me are reminders to give thanks. Thanks for things that God has done and thanks for those things that He did not allow.  Things that have kept me and my family safe.  I want my thanks to be an internal habit of gratitude no matter the circumstance because God is good.  He’s better than good.  He is awesome!

So as I take life challenges I look up to the One who saves and is always with me and I give thanks.  Thanks for your patience.  Thanks for your mercy and loving kindness. Thanks for your peace when the waters are troubled. Thanks for family and friends.  Thanks for my needs being met.  Thanks for being my Savior and my friend.  Thank You for being God.

Lord bless the families of this earth.  May we look to You and offer You praise.  May we thank You with humble and glad hearts no matter the circumstances.  We give you the glory and the honor.  In Jesus name.  Amen
