Dear Father,
Thank you for salvation, my only right to enter your presence, may I never take that for granted. Thank you my health, may I use it to serve you. Thank you for my mind, may I set my thoughts on the things of your Kingdom. Thank you for my family, forgive me when I take them for granted. Thank you for friends who challenge me to walk in your ways, help me to challenge them as well. Thank you for the daily needs and so many comforts I take for granted. Forgive my greed and my begrudged sharing. Thank you for calling me son, I do not deserve it. Thank you for allowing me a small part in your Kingdom, help me to serve with joy. Thank you for joy, may I not snuff it out with bitterness and pride. Forgive me foolish thoughts of entitlement, replace it with a true picture of grace.
Trying to be thankful, I am
Verses for consideration: Psalm 69:30, Psalms 100:4, Colossians 1:11-14, 3:16-17
I will not be publishing new posts until November 30. May you have a blessed Thanksgiving! His servant and yours, Glen
