Thankful heart

I have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. A wonderful new man in my life, a great job, a good solid family, friends who love me and a Savior who is constantly working on me, pruning me and who is bringing new experiences and overflowing blessings into my life everyday. I couldn't ask for more and I marvel at His care and His handiwork. He is awesome. He has created awesome things.

I encourage whoever reads this to also be thankful today, even for the small things. It is by His grace that we have been saved, and he encourages us to clothe ourselves with thanksgiving.

1Thessalonians 5
16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
