Thank you, veterans, for serving!!!

Jonah 2:9
(Verses 1-2 for context. ¹ From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God. ² He said:)
But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the LORD.”

I realized something yesterday. Up until now, I have been giving thanks for tangible things, for the most part. Things we can touch, feel, and see.

Today I give thanks for laughter, joy, and love! I give thanks for God's grace and forgiveness. I give thanks for seconded chances. I give thanks for faith.

I give thanks for life!

Revelation 4:8-9 (NIV1984)

⁸ Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
   “Holy, holy, holy
   is the Lord God Almighty,
   who was, and is, and is to come.”
 ⁹ Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever.

I am giving thanks for the internet. I use it almost everyday for school, communication, and research. The last two days I did not have access to it on my computer. I realized that I use it a lot for things, especially my school.

Here is a song to remind us to "give thanks"

 

1 Thessalonians 5:18
give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

I give thanks to God for my family. He has blessed me with my family. I am thankful for each member in my family. I am also thankful that I am a child of God and that I am a part of His family!

Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. (1 Chronicles 16:8 NIV84)

I give thanks for blankets and quilts. I love to snuggle up in a nice warm blanket. Most of my blankets have special meanings to them. Many of the quilts were made by my grandmas. It is great to have these blankets and quilts as reminders of grandmothers. And they remind me I am loved. Not only by the people who made me the blankets. But by the One who made me. Jesus loves me and He loves you, too!!!


Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Give thanks to the God of heaven,
for his steadfast love endures forever. (Psalm 136:1-3, 26 ESV)
