Psalm 95:1-2
Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the
Rock of our salvation. Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms
of praise to him.
A couple weeks before thanksgiving, I started writing down
things that came to me, that I am thankful for.
Thank you, Father, that as I sit alone in my chair in the
morning, I can hear noises in the house of the family you have given me waking
up, those who still live in my house.
Thank You for technology. So that I can have contact with
the family who do not live in my house; to remind me of the things I forget;
Truly, I am thankful for technology. Truly.:)
Thank You for the friends I can depend on.
For a call from my daughter in Iowa.
For the handful of lovely days in November when I sat on my
front porch and worked or read.
For coffee, which makes me smile.
For the lovely house you’ve gifted us with.
Cinnamon tea.
Your church, Lord.
Our crazy cat.
The uncountable worlds I can visit in books.
The gifts of the senses, especially smell and taste. You
could have created a way for us to have nutrition without the enjoyment we get
from food.
Monkey bread; comfortable jeans.
Favorite Christmas songs, Like “O Holy Night” and “Silent
Night.”
Bible verses with promises of hope.
Hebrews 7:25:
Consequently he is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
