I will be eternally grateful for the million and one things the Lord has done for me in this life! Adding to that the million and one things that will I will be grateful for in glory! Let alone the billions of people I will also give thanks for! Starting with each of you. TR An attitude of gratitude seems to bear much weight with God! As it would for anyone! As the saying goes! Easier to ask for forgiveness, than permission! Gracious hearts are always giving. Just as a gracious heart receives with gratitude! Let me excel whether giving or receiving! And be the better man for growing in both! TR I thank God for your encouragement and sage words, TR. You have a gift. The act of thanksgiving is a part of worship. And a thankful heart positions itself for flood of future blessings! Many here have warmed my heart and His with their precious outpourings from the depths of their being! TR I am grateful for the free gift - and that Jesus didn’t just die for a certain group of people but for ALL mankind ... (whosoever will) and that my soul is secure in Jesus! Well, I had an appointment this morning and I bumped into Jonathan Goldsmith (aka the most interesting man in the world). I parked on the street and he pulled in and parked directly across the street and before I got out of my vehicle he gets out of his fancy white pick up truck and headed into the same building as me. He didn’t have any appointment, just came on in and bumped me out of my 9:00 a.m. time slot. That’s ok ... because I got a chance to personally observe the “special” treatment they give to the upper class. He had on the blue disposable face mask, dark sunglasses, wore an expensive shirt, jeans and brown loafers without socks. As he sat down in the waiting room chair he removed his sunglasses and then ... his face mask! Yet he didn’t get scolded at all by the receptionist. Nope, she walked up to him and handed him something and they talked for a few minutes. Then they were talking about horses so I’m assuming he owns a few horses on his local estate. After he left, then the receptionist apologized that I was pushed to the side. I said “no problem”. Then I tested the waters and said “can I take off my face mask”? She said “NO, absolutely not” and then takes out her roller temperature pen to check to see if I have a fever. Of course, I didn’t and she says “you have a normal temperature, whew”. :mdrmdr: Amazing how the world idolizes and gives special treatment to their own ... but that’s ok ... I prefer to be special in eyes of the Lord, not man and I know you all feel the same. Soon, my brothers and sisters the unfair tide waves of this world will change ... we are going to see our King and we will forever be with Him and have a special seat reserved for us at His banquet table. :whistle: Going to be fun. :yes: I was thinking of these unsaved stars and if they never get saved ... how they will be shell shocked when they end up in hell with no status or special treatment ever again. You mean their not all that and a bag of chips?! TR “A bag of chips ...” Perhaps she gave him some horse snacks. :unsure: Just think ... pretty soon we are all going to own our very own horse ... and it will never get old or sick. :yes: My wife Aleady has hers! TR Cool ... so she has both the horse and the bag of chips ... plus her beloved poodle, Cody. Just think, they are both going to be talking soon. :whistle: Getting nervous when they start asking you for a second helping from the banquet table? B-) Is her horse white? If not, I wonder if it will turn white? Or are there special white horses reserved just for this event in Rev 19:4 and the other horses will remain in the barn? :unsure: Rev 19:14 - “And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.” Ok, totally get Revelation to say we will ride on white horses, but I have always loved the chestnut color with a black mane and tail! Truly, at the point of, whatever just so we can go! I know Jesus is preparing a superb place but I’d settle for standing by the gate and a small square of space in a large room, just to go! Never been much on things or owning things, so just going and going NOW would be worth forfeiting a Lovely abode. Planning on planet hoping anyway! :prayer-hands:
We are going to be spending eternity thanking God and never feeling tired of doing so. He is worthy of all our praise, thanksgiving and honour.
