With Thanksgiving

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus,"     (Philippians 4:4-7 NIV).

Thank you, God, for the sunshine before the storm. Thank you, God for the leaves that blew away yesterday. Thank you, God, for a warm home and a refrigerator full of food to prepare. Thank you, God, for good health for our family. Thank you, God, that I am able to prepare a meal, (and an extra day since our family gathers tomorrow). Thank you, God, for our two sons who make us so proud. Thank you, God, for eight beautiful grandchildren who delight us in every way. Thank you, God, for our extended family. Thank you, God, for friends who touch our hearts.

Lord, may You be with each and every one today, blessing them with wellness and safety. You have given us so much to enjoy! May we never forget the sacrifice of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, our greatest Thanksgiving of all. With humble and thankful hearts, we worship and adore You, Amen.
