On this Thanksgiving eve I have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful first for the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and for the salvation He has bestowed upon me. I am also abundantly grateful for family...they come in all shapes, sizes, and opinions. I have a husband who is always my rock...he isn't just always present in mine and my children's lives...he is always involved and active. He is a man of honor and a spiritual leader. I have 3 beautiful children. A mother who is my best friend, a father who is supportive, in-laws who are always willing to help, a brother who I wouldn't trade no matter how mean he is to me...oh,the list could go on for days. I am also thankful for my friends...most of them are family in my book. Each has been there and walked along beside me through life. They are encouragers, counselors...always honest. Life would be pretty dull without them. I am thankful for our church...the love and care they provide is priceless. So much more to be thankful for. I am truly blessed!!
Thanksgiving Prayer
Heavenly Father, on Thanksgiving Day
We bow our hearts to You and pray.
We give You thanks for all You've done
Especially for the gift of Jesus, Your Son.
For beauty in nature, Your glory we see
For joy and health, friends and family,
For daily provision, Your mercy and care
These are the blessings You graciously share.
So today we offer this response of praise
With a promise to follow You all of our days.
