Thankfullness

The Bible tells us we are to give thanks in everything.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

Wow. Everything. Really? Yep. There is so much to be thankful for. Here's a short list of what I'm thankful for this year. (in no particular order)

• moving to Pittsburgh
• husband that loves me
• kids that love me
• technology that I can keep in touch with old friends
• meeting new friends
• fall weather and beautiful trees
• books
• my fireplace
• The Word
• Larry's job
• good friends to travel with
• be able to help others
• accepting help from others
• people that inspire me to be more than I think I can be
• My Lord and Savior
• churches where people can come together to worship the Lord
• good Praise music
• boldness to start a new life in a new place
• my tiny little apartment
• kids that are growing into beautiful people
• a new little baby that I get to look after 3 days a week
• volunteers
• coffee

These are just a few of the things I can think of right now. There's so much more!!

It's easy to be thankful for the easy stuff. It's hard to be thankful in everything. But the Lord is good! Thanksgiving is a time to reminisce about what we are thankful for.

Revelation 7:12 saying: “ Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”

Just imagine...it'll be thanksgiving in Heaven forever!
