I’m Thankful, Are You?

By Rev. Dean Beaty 9/14/09

I Thessalonians 5:18 “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will

of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (KJV)

I’m thankful for forgiveness and that sins are washed away.

I’m thankful for God’s mercy that is new to me each day.

I’m thankful for God’s Spirit who lives within my heart.

I’m thankful for the promises that He will not depart.

I’m thankful that I have a home that God’s prepared for me.

I’m thankful most for Jesus Christ who died on Calvary.

I’m thankful I’m a child of God and my Father is the King.

I’m thankful for God’s blessings and the gifts that I can bring.

I’m thankful for the blood of Christ which cleansed my heart of sin.

I’m thankful for the brand new start when I was born again.

I’m thankful for the Word of God to teach me how to live.

I’m thankful for the grace of God whereby He will forgive.

I’ve a hope beyond this life to live eternally.

Do you know my loving Lord and serve Him faithfully?

What gives you a thankful heart? Before whom do you bow?

Will the things you’re thankful for last longer than for now?
