Usually I write out my thanksgiving praises to God here on Fridays. Today, I have so many that I decided to do a list of what I'm grateful for this week. Below are 10 things I'm thanking God for in no particular order.
1. My dad is gaining weight! Jesus is a healer...
2. The play is tomorrow! It's going to be so much fun.
3. Water. I love water so much! It's so refreshing.
4. My job. I'm thankful for shortened hours this week. Hallelujah!
5. Sunshine. Yes, it's been hot in the Chi, but a few months ago we were praying for warm weather. So, Lord, thanks for answering our prayers!
6. My family.
7. My goddaughter. She 'graduated' from pre-school this week, and she was her class valedictorian! Thanks, God, for blessing me with such a wonder!
8. Joy and Peace. In the midst of anything I can count on God's joy and peace to sustain and keep me.
9. Vision. I am working towards God's promises for my life, and I am grateful that He has greatness in store for me!
10. You - Yes, you. I am thankful to God for blessing me to have you to encourage me to continue in my purpose. Just having you there to read and comment on my blog encourages me more than you can know! I'm grateful to have the chance to interact with you. Even if all you do is log on to read, I am grateful for your participation with this blog.
So, what are you thankful for today? I'm sure God's been doing great things for you too! Why don't you take a moment and give Him some praise?
Verse of the Day: Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. Psalm 30:11, 12
Wonderful post. I recently read a saying about gratitude--imagine that what you have today is what you were grateful for yesterday.
