My thankfulness to God is not tied to or dependent on the possessions that surround me. Although I am thankful for all He has provided me, I am thankful for things I could not purchase on Amazon … or turn around and donate to Goodwill. My thanks to God is centered on His grace.
- In His grace, God sent Jesus to us.
- In His grace, God loved me despite my waywardness.
- In His grace, God paid the debt of my sin.
- In His grace, God gave me new life.
- In His grace, God gave me peace and joy.
- In His grace, God gave my life purpose.
- In His grace, God gave me a future.
- I am thankful for His grace.
And I am thankful for you. Thanks for stopping by my blog each week. I hope you’ve been encouraged.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His faithful love endures forever” (Ps. 136:1).
Happy thanksgiving.

And I give thanks to God for you and people like you who are able to put into words the thoughts and feelings many of us have yet are unable to express. Our LORD’s love for us is so complete and perfect that He has given great gifts of encouragement to many like yourself.
Truly He is worthy of all praise and thanks.
Happy Day of Thanksgiving! Carol Burton Orlando, Fl

Amen! We have so much to be thankful for beyond the things we can buy. The grace,mercy, compassion, forgiveness, salvation and promise of eternal life are free gifts bought at the price of our Lord and Savior’s own blood, a holy sacrifice we can never earn or repay. To God alone be the glory!
