I am so grateful today for the door that God opened for our Faithbooking group.  We are getting the opportunity to meet in a new location and open up this opportunity to many other people who may enjoy documenting their faith through Faithbooking.  It is a wonderful gift from God and I can’t wait to see how he uses it to further His kingdom.

There are so many things to be thankful for each and every day that I don’t even have the room to list them.  

*I am thankful that God is so forgiving even though I seem to fall into the same sins over and over again.

*I am thankful that God has a plan for me, my family, my friends.

*I am thankful that God gives me the opportunity each day to be a part of His plan.

*I am thankful that He chose me, that He gave me life, and that He called me to Him and that He opened my eyes to see Him and His works around me.

*I am thankful that He is always teaching me about Himself and about His ways

*I am thankful for all those He has put in my path who have helped me grow in my faith and my relationship with Him

And a thousand million other things……..

Someone once asked, “What would I have if I was left with only the things I thanked God for today?”  Somedays this would mean that I would be left with nothing, some days I would have very little but not one day do I thank God for everything that He has provided me.  I don’t think there is enough time in a single day to express gratitude for all God has given me.  He has been overwhelmingly generous!!!

I am thankful that He had a plan for my salvation and yours and that he carried it out in His perfect timing and that we have the opportunity to celebrate His sacrifice on Easter weekend.  I am also thankful that He shows us that sometimes something that looks as awful as the sacrifice of Christ death on a cross can be a wonderfully beautiful thing that deserves to be celebrated.  

This reminds me of a song we sing in church  

Beautiful Things

Remember to express your gratitude to God each day for all the blessings you have been given, all the grace He has given you and the thousand million other things that you should be grateful for.
