I Wanna Thank Almighty God
Thursday, May 10, 2007
Today I just want to stop and take a minute to thank Almighty God where all good things come from. Sometimes I go through life and I take things for granted, but other times I have to stop and give Props to the one who makes all things possible in my life. He and He alone sustains me. He and He alone completes my life.
I am so thankful today that I live in America, the home of the brave and the land of the free. I am thankful that we can worship and serve the one and only true God. I am thankful that I can see, that I have two healthy eyes, that I can hear, that I can talk and walk. I am thankful that I am not homeless, I don't live in a mental institution or a state institution, and my mind is alert. I am thankful that I don't need assistance to get to and fro when I want to go to the bathroom, and that I can drive myself where I need to go. I am thankful for my family, for my friends, my job, my preacher, my church family. I am thankful that I am able to go where I want and do what I want. I am thankful I have a bed to sleep in, a couch to sit on and a refrigerator full of food. I am thankful I have shoes, clothes and blankets. I am thankful I can read and write. I am thankful most of all for Jesus that He died for a wretch like me. I am thankful I know what it feels like to love and be loved. I could go on and on, I am blessed and I know it. Everyday I see others who don't have what I have. I just wanna share it. Everything I have He has given me to be able to love and serve others. Oh how I want to be more like Jesus!!

Hi, Dana you spoke most of my same feelings ? There might be 3or4 that I can't do as good , but I accept them as just another blessing ? But without Gods Love and His Mercies and the beautiful creation that He created where would we all be ? I know I don't deserve His goodness ? Blessings. Ron.
I loved this because you took the time to list some of the things you give thanks for. You didn't short cut, you gave God praise for His goodness. In doing so, it makes me reflect on all of His goodness to me...and He is so good!
Mom is about the same, thanks for asking. As you know, every day can be a surprise and I just try to be "prayed up" for whatever it will be. I constantly keep you in my prayers and I appreciate that God has given you to me as a sweet sister in the Lord.
Have a wonderful Mother's day!
I am thankful too, Lord.
Taking the time to think about all God is leaves us feeling full and at peace...like everything is right in the world, as crazy as it is, because we have a God that's bigger than any problem or disappointment we face. We have hope in Him. He delivers.
Thanks. I have to learn to be more expressively thankful to Him.
He is good isnt He? We are truly blessed.
Happy Mother's Day
Peace

What a wonderful post, although I am a bit late reading it. I was just telling my husband today that we need to be thankful for the breath we breathe without hurting. There are so many that aren't as fortunate as we are. God is good, all the time! Glad to have you back. I was looking for you and your site just wasn't there!
Hi, Dana,this is my first visit to you, I am thankful too, I am thankful that I do take time out each day and give thanks to the Lord.
