Day of Thanks

Rejoice always,

Pray without ceasing,

Give Thanks in all circumstances;

For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thes 5:16-18

The past week has been a rough one for me personally.  I received some sad news and spent a good part of each days in tears.  However even in this time of trial and sadness, the Word tells me to rejoice, pray, and give thanks.  This Thanksgiving I was sad about a few things, but still there was reason to give thanks to God.  Here is a list of just some of the things I am thankful for this Thanksgiving season.

1. G#d never changes.

2. His mercy is new every morning.

3. His grace is sufficient for me.

4. He is Soveriegn over the events of history.

5. He is at work for my good and His glory.

6. His wisdom and ways are far above and better than mine.

7. Friends who love and support me.

8.  People who make me laugh, even as I'm crying.

9. Sister's visit.

10. His leading and direction.

11. A partner who, because of her love for JC, serves and loves me.

12.  Nothing is lost in His economy.

14. Friends to kill my ducks.

15. Time to rest and recover.

16. Christmas lights in my living room.
