Thursday, Day 183:
I’m half way through my 365 days of thanksgiving! I have to admit that each day becomes more
challenging. Even though I have done a
few “repeats”, I am trying to find something different each day. Plus, rather than just grabbing something out
of the air, I’m trying to notice something that I see or experience each day
for which to give thanks. So this next
182 days is going to be exponentially more difficult. But that is part of the challenge…to GROW in
my thankfulness.
I want to interject a little something here for those who
may have thought to themselves that I’m not directing my thanksgiving to
God. (No one has complained about this
to my knowledge, but I’m sure SOMEONE has thought it.) It is true that I don’t mention in every
post, or even in most of them, that I’m thankful to God for all of these
blessings. However, I recognize and
acknowledge that ALL good and perfect gifts come from God. (James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect
gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning.)
If there has been any doubt, let it be eliminated!
That being said, today I want to give thanks for God
adopting me as His child…and giving me all the blessings that I receive. That is such an awesome principle in my
mind! That the creator of EVERYTHING,
One who is all-powerful and all-knowing, chose to make me a part of His
family…and loves me the way (only deeper) that I love my three kids…that He
cares about what happens to me on a daily basis and intervenes when He sees
best…that He sacrificed His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON so that I could be a child of
His. Please believe me when I say that
all of my praise and thanksgiving go to my God and Father!
Psalms 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and
into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
