" THANKFULNESS "

Good Morning All,

I just can't find the words to express the love and affection that I feel from you.
You are so faithful to come back week after week, I truly feel your support, you are the best.

God told his chosen people to bring their peace offerings personally, with their own hands.
You see, they were to take time and effort to express thanks to God. When is the last time that you gave thanks to the creator? Praise and thanksgiving should be a regular part of our routine, and not just reserved only for celebrations. I've come to this conclusion, because I give praise to my Lord and my God continually, I have found that I don't take his blessings for granted.

The ABC's of true thanksgiving (1) Remembering what God has done, (2) Telling others about it, (3) Showing God's glory to others, and (4) offering gifts of self, time, and resources. If
you are truly thankful, your life will show it. I have the best prayer partners ever, these men, each of them I can see Christ in them, in their words and actions. You are the only person who can express your thankfulness to God and to others. I can't imagine you sending someone else to express thanks for what people have done. Do you rely on the one leading the prayer to thank God for you? Take time yourself to express thanks both to God and to others who have helped and blessed you.

Dissatisfaction comes when our attention shifts from what we have to what we don't have. Are we grateful for what God has given us, or are we always thinking about what we would like to have? we should not allow our unfilled desires to cause us to forget God's gift of life, food, health, work, and friends.
Thanksgiving should be an integral part of our praise to the Father. As we praise and thank God for material and spiritual blessings, we should also thank him for our answered prayer. How many times have you made an appeal to God for protection, strength, patience, comfort, love or other special needs, and he supplied them? Don't forget to thank people who help you, but also remember to praise God for His care and protection. Continue to be in an attitude of prayer always.

Until Next Time, Give Thanks.

Jim
