Day 22 of 30 Days of Thankfulness

I'm Thankful

(232)  That I was able to go to church today.  Last Sunday I was sick, and today Charlie & Seth are puny.

(233)  That the Lord blessed the service this morning.

(234)  For my church family.

(235)  For my pastor.

(236)  For being able to sing in the choir.

(237)  For the special singing by the youth choir.  They sang "I Have Been Blessed".

(238)  For the song by Kristan & Taylor and their grandmother that talked about how things may be rough be we don't have anything to complain about.

(239)  For the special service of Thanksgiving and Praise by the church family in the many testimonies of God's goodness.

(240)  That even though this has been a rough year for many of us, we all have much to be thankful for and realize it.

(241)  That most of those who have battled illness this year are doing better.  The Leamons, Debbie Ruppe, Tony Howard, Madison Miller, Dean Hawn, Randal Hawn, Wanda Young, Steve Walker, Don Smith, and others.

(242)  For those that we are still praying for, for it means they are still with us and there is still hope for their recovery. 

(243)  For those who have gone on and received their complete healing.

(244)  For those that we are praying for who have spiritual needs.  For again, it means they haven't departed this world and lost all hope.

(245)  For all the ways we can see that the Lord has worked and blessed us this year, even in the midst of great trials.

(246)  That the trials bring us new awarenes of things we once took for granted, of the little things in our lives, and of all the things we have to be thankful for.

(247)  That I have this evening's service to look forward to.

(248)  For beef stew and fresh bread and a warm home.

(249)  For being able to bow my head and thank God for His provision.

(250)  For a quiet afternoon of reflection.

(251)  For the hope of tomorrow.

(252)  For today's grace and mercy.

(253)  For new grace and mercies He provides each day.
