There is Just so Much to be Thankful for…!
…all you have to do is open your eyes and look around.
I am so thankful…. Thankful for the life God has given me… Because I have been allowed to know a small part of God.
I am thankful for doing well, for having a wonderful and amazing wife, four great kids, a home, food on the table and clothes to wear. I have been blessed with a comfortable bed and an amazing comforter.
– I have been blessed with the fact that if God is for me, as He is, it means NOTHING that others are against me….
– I have been blessed with the title of prince…. Child of God… Ambassador for Christ, and salt of the earth.…
– I have been blessed with the Holy Spirit living in me, and with the fact that if I ‘bother’ spending time with Him, both in obedience and in fellowship just the two of us, He guides me….
– I have been blessed that God chose little old me and that He knew me before I was born….
– I have been blessed with so much love from my heavenly Father that I must share it… And that everything I own, from money to family and honor is not mine at all, but God’s – so never mind if I lose it, because He provides for me all my life.
– I have been blessed that disease, guilt, shame, and fear are no longer mine, because Jesus took it all on the cross 2000 years ago. So much that when I lay hands on others, they are healed.
– I am so blessed that I can’t be bothered to worry about everything I don’t have and everything I can’t do – because in Christ, I can do everything, and in Him I have everything I need. All other problems are created by humans….. I’m not going to bother taking any of that upon myself.
With a tired and content thankful smile to my heavenly Father, I’ll get into bed and go to sleep now 😴….
And if you think this is just too much or a little nauseating, then take a look in the Bible and see who God created YOU to be…!!! Wow…. That’s no small potatoes – and especially not if you actually take it in and start to believe that it is valid for you as well!!! YOU ARE PRECIOUS…. YOU HAVE GREAT VALUE!!!
