Thank you!

I am thankful for many things this Thanksgiving day. I have spent the last week or so really thinking about thankfulness. Thankfulness is to have an attitude and heart that is appreciative, grateful for who God is and what He has done. It also acknowledges His sovereign control of our lives. When I think about thankfulness in this light, wow! I have a lot to be thankful for! So I began to think of all the things I am thankful to God for. Because really God is the one who has allowed me to have, be with, experience, and enjoy anything! My list is not in any specific order. It is just as they came to my mind and is not an exhastive list. I am equally thankful to God for all and everything. Here it is: God, salvation, God's Word, God's provision, God's protection, Opportunities to serve God, Maggie, Elijah, Dad, Mom, Amy, Philip, Susan, Maggie's parents and siblings, home, car, job, Jesse and Katie (Hayden, Owen, Silas), Tim and Anna, Jeriah and Shawna, Nick, Pastor Brian, Pastor Thompson and family, Pastor James, Bethel Baptist Church, the ability to run, play basketball, play soccer, or do just about anything. I know I am so thankful, but sometimes it is hard to put into words how thankful I am. God is so, so good all the time; all the time God is good! I love serving God and praising Him for all the worderful ways He works! Today and everday I need to praise Him! I am thankful today!

Press ON!
