Thanksgiving 2010

Today I am thankful for:

1.       HOPE – ‘For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope for a living dog is better than a dead lion’ Ecc 9:4 – I have been given another day to live.  I looked up some of the word in the Hebrew.  The word ‘living’ can be interpreted literally or figuratively.  Another meaning for ‘living’ in the Hebrew is ‘Merry’ anyway, I am glad I have Hope. 

2.       FAITH – I am glad that my reality is not defined by my circumstances. ‘Faith is the substance of things Hoped for, the evidence of things not seen’ BY Faith I KNOW that my future will be WONDERFUL and that I can enjoy TODAY even if all my circumstances are not perfect and I am not perfect.  I don’t have to wait until I have conquered everyone of my weaknesses to REJOICE because my FAITH says God is working on me and changing me into what He wants me to be.

3.       LOVE – Even though God knows me so well, He Loves me and what he made me to be. He has so much Patience with me and it is His pleasure to shower me with His Favor.  I have done nothing to deserve it and I do not have to do a little dance and perform for Him to smile upon me.

4.       GRACE – I have been redeemed from Sin by His GRACE, but it doesn’t stop there. Each day I live I am blessed by His Grace, my family is blessed by his Grace. I humbly receive it knowing that my works are not why I receive it.
