...with thankfulness in your hearts to God...

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body, and be thankful.  Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father."  - Colossians 3:15-17

In my heart, I am thankful for the following:

  • Jesus Christ, my redeemer, 
  • a family that I love,
  • friends who put up with my quirks, 
  • the riches of His grace,
  • mercy that overflows,
  • blood that cleanses,
  • work I love, 
  • love that works, 
  • joy that overflows,
  • patience that grows,
  • Peace that guides,
  • Light that cleanses,
  • Truth that frees,
  • Hope that endures,
  • faithfulness that surprises,
  • the indwelling Spirit,
  • seed whose fruit yields righteousness,
  • genuine fellowship,
  • diligent waiting,
  • uncomfortable stretching,
  • a kindred spirit,
  • eager anticipation,
  • delightful yielding,
  • fighting to win,
  • a quieted spirit,
  • exultant joy,
  • freedom,
  • abundant life,
  • enlightenment,
  • praise filled worship,
  • convicting teaching,
  • an encouraging word,
  • heartfelt prayer,
  • the true Word,
  • the meekness of wisdom,
  • a loving rebuke,
  • partaking in the Divine nature,
  • a devoted seeking,
  • the river of life,

just to name 40 or so...

I have so much to be thankful for that it overwhelms me!  Praise Jesus from whom all blessings flow.
