Thank you, Lord ....

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

his love endures forever.

~ * ~ Psalm 107:1 ~ * ~

Give thanks in all circumstances; 

for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

~ * ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 ~ * ~

I'm grateful, God, for so many things. Now, I know I'm not the most grateful person you know, God, so let me take some time to tell you what I'm thankful for.

I'm grateful, God, for the gift of life. Without you I wouldn't be here. Without you nothing would be here. Without you nothing would be at all.

I'm grateful for my parents, family, friends, wisdom, knowledge, job, food, clothes and for the many other things that I do not have. I always trust and believe that you have the plans for my future and hope. Lord have mercy on a sinner like me. 

Now, I'm not always as thankful as I should be, but today I am. Today I will try to be grateful all day, since you are generous all day to me, like you are every day.

Amen.
