What Are You Thankful For?

One of my favorite things to do on Thanksgiving week is to recount to Ken all the things for which I am so thankful to God: the glorious gift of Jesus… His Gospel always rescuing us from darkness… His grace that sustains us daily… A mission to accomplish, friends to be encouraged, and a family that’s always ‘there!’ And getting really detailed? Well, I’m especially grateful for the spate of pain-free days I’ve recently enjoyed, and a greater sense of courage rising in my heart – lately God has been teaching me to be a wiser ‘steward of pain’ (when it comes) and nothing could make me more contented! Truly, “God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him,” as Piper says. More specifics for which I’m grateful? Everything pumpkin… an upgrade on my Dragon Naturally Speaking… and whenever Ken plants a kiss on my cheek. This Thursday, Thanksgiving Day (when dinner is over, and family and friends have left), I’ll be reading my blog; so tell me, what are you most thankful to God for??!

Leave a post… I’d love to read your thoughts and rejoice with you!

Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home;
All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.
God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied;
Come to God’s own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home.
