Five thanks

A reflection of thankfulness…

1. Faith

Forever will I be thankful for the gift of forgiveness and for faith to believe.

2. Family

Four healthy children, full of life. A godly husband. My parents. Doc’s parents. Extended family near and far, all dear ones and loved. Church family, also dear. Along with my church family, I include my online friends. Faith brings us together, technology lets us connect and find each other. I’m thankful for you, readers.

3. Freedom

From sin through the power of Jesus Christ. Freedom to gather in community with other believers every Sunday, to openly proclaim Jesus is Lord. Freedom to educate my children, my way, without interference from government involvement.

4. Food

Because not everyone will sit down to turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy and pumpkin pie. God forgive us if we forget our brothers and sisters that are hungry today, here in the United States, or overseas.

5. Finances

My family has enough. We aren’t rich, we aren’t poor. I’m thankful for the abundance in my heart, that which money can’t buy.

From Psalm 136:

Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.

Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.

to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
