Thanks-giving

Mark 11:24 - “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

Thanksgiving is a traditional American holiday when we give thanks for all we have.

I wonder how many people only give thanks, on this one day of the year. And those that are thankful, how much are they giving?

I’m thankful for each day, every breath, and another opportunity to show God’s love and to serve others.

I’ve also practiced a daily routine of thanking God for what’s to come. I think God loves it when we thank Him ahead of time. This shows our trust that God will do what He says - answer prayer.

Be careful what you ask for. Be ready to accept the responsibility of your answered request.

Most importantly, thank God every day for the life He gives you. And, remember the opportunity He gives each of us to accept Him as your savior; thank Him for dying for your sins, and give to others, while you still can.

Those reading this may be dealing with death, rejection, anger, neglect or depression. This message is for you too. Thank God for His grace; His presence with you; His strength to overcome this and His love that covers all sins.

Thanks-giving to all my friends and family.
