I Want to Give Thanks

In this season of giving thanks I want to count my blessings.

Psalm 107:1-9

I want to give thanks because God is good and His mercy endures forever. He has redeemed me from the enemy of my soul and heard my cry from the wilderness. He has satisfied my longing soul.

I want to give thanks for all that we have been given. We have all that we need because of God. My wife and I have a warm home and an income that provides for our material needs.

I want to give thanks for our church because we always feel God's presence when we worship. God always gives our ministers a word that is encouraging and important for the listeners.

It’s easy to become unthankful until I stop and take inventory. I want to focus on the good things that God has done in my life.

I want to give thanks for my family because they mean so much to me. When we strip away all of the “things” in life we see that our loved ones are the most important thing in our lives.
I am blessed with a wonderful wife, children, and grandchildren. God has truly watched over us.

I want to give thanks because of my abiding faith in God. I have made the choice to follow Jesus regardless of any of life’s circumstances and feel that it is possible because of God's help.

I want to give thanks because God knows who I am; He knows the real me and loves me anyway.

Thanks Jesus.
