I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day celebration with your friends and family and that you don’t overindulge 🙂 Thankfully I don’t have to cook today, my sister does Thanksgiving and I do Christmas — it makes it a lot easier on both of us.
I thought I would share with you some of the many blessings for which I’m thankful to God:
I’m thankful that there is a God in heaven who cares about each of us and sent his Son to pay the penalty for our rebellion against him. I’m thankful he is a personal God who cares and watches over me, protects me from harm and has drawn me to him.
I’m thankful I live in a country where I can proclaim that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and that my fidelity is to him.
I’m thankful that I live in a country that acknowledges our right to believe in any god or no god.
I’m thankful for a supportive and loving family, for the love of my husband and my children and the ability to share my love with them.
I’m thankful for my brothers and sisters in Christ who travel this road with me and who share in the comfort we provide each other. I’m thankful for their support.
I’m thankful that the Lord has blessed me with a warm home and the availability of plenty of food.
I’m thankful to live in a country where we can be a blessing to others by providing for their needs when they do not have a warm home or food.
