Thanksgiving

Lord,

I'm thankful for YOU! For how You keep me growing, through Your word, your still soft voice, your servants and leaders, through teachers and brothers and sisters in Your family, through my family and life's experiences.

I'm thankful for the incredible family You have given to me. There is no possible way I can express my pleasure in each child You created and gave me the privilege to enjoy. The miracle of life, and all its inexpressible depth of interaction and emotion and bonding is a mystery and amazement to me. Somehow Your love trancends the love I feel for my family, and I can scarcely imagine the magnitude of Your love for me! You have illustrated Your eternal love through the wonderful husband you gave me, who loves me dearly and gives his life to care for me and shares my life so intimately. I am profoundly grateful for Jim, Lord.

I am thankful that each child calls you "Lord," and has come to know You personally.

I am thankful for Simple Grace Ministries, Lord. I am glad for the privilege of sharing You through the music You give to us. I am thankful to serve Your family in whatever ways You ordain. I am thankful for TRUTH to share. I am thankful for Your power that changes and heals hearts even through broken vessels. Thank You for honoring our family by sending us. We are truly thrilled to go in Your lofty name.

Thank You for growth and change and challenges enough to keep us at Your feet. Thank You for life's basics of food and home and health and love and friends. Thank You for peace in our land and godly leadership. Thank You for freedom to worship and educate our children according to Your principles. Thank You for still giving miracles, and giving us faith to believe in them. Thank You for being Father and Saviour and Spirit eternally, Lord of life abundantly, my Ancient of all my days! I love You with all my heart.
