Be Thankful "Always"

   The holiday season is upon us and tomorrow millions of people will stand up and give toast of their thankfulness for many different things in life. Some will give thanks for family, friends, good health, good jobs,etc, while others will give thanks for getting their custom built Escalade or projection screen television to whoever won the football game the night before. The sad part of it all is that we should be thankful for all of this each and everyday that we live. Some of us just can't give thanks at all or some will say what do I have to be thankful for, I lost my job, my husband/wife left me. As bad as it may seem at that moment, there is still plenty of reason to be thankful. God does not sit and watch as bad things happen to us and laugh. Do you not think it to hurts him that he has to watch his children suffer, but due to the free will put into our way of living, there will be circumstances and situations in which comes grief and sadness, but the Lord is there with you to comfort you, to make you stronger, to help you in healing. Yes we have much to be thankful for, from the ability to take our next breath, to the promise of knowing that as children of God and believers of Jesus Christ the one who gave his life so that we would someday have eternal life with he and the Father in the Kingdom of Heaven. This in itself is more than plenty to be thankful for. Let Us Pray.
       Dear Lord thank you for this glorious day, thank you for your love, for the abundant blessings given to each of us Lord. Thank you for all that you have given to us, each and everyone of us who have chosen to accept you as our Savior, to be given eternal life in Heaven with you Lord. We are so very Blessed.Lord we take this holiday season to pray Lord that others may be comforted as we have been. That the lost shall seek and find you Father. That the sick shall be made well again, that the hungry shall be fed and the homeless shall find shelter.I pray for all of the children of this world Lord, that they be kept safe in your loving arms, that all that is evil be bound and kept away from these little innocents. I pray that they know only happiness and love dear Lord. Please help us all daily that we continue to walk the path in which you have laid out for us Lord. In Jesus name we ask of these things. Amen...
