In the midst of the chaos and disruption to what most of us would call "normal", I found myself this morning thinking this is a great time to reflect on and express gratefulness to the Lord for all that we still have to be thankful for today. I'm thinking in terms of two broad categories. Blessings that we tend to think of as manifesting in the natural/material realm and things we would typically think of as spiritual blessings. I am going to start us off with five and five, although I have way more that I could list. Then, if you feel so led, you join in on the thread and add to the list. Let it be praise and thanksgiving unto our God, to the Father, through the Son, by the Spirit!!! Natural (nothing too little or seemingly "inconsequential"): 1) Clean running water to drink and bath (hot water) in 2) An automobile that continues to run reliably 3) A refrierator with food in it 4) Indoor plumbing for bathrooms 5) The job I still have as a channel of material provision. Spiritual: 1) The blood of the Lamb of God that washes away the sins of the world, including all of my filth 2) The promise of the harpazo 3) My name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life 4) The robe of righteousness found in Christ that clothes believers 5) Jesus dying on the cross in my place OK. Your turn. Add to the list as the Spirit leads... Fantastic list! :good: I’m grateful for all you mentioned but I don’t have the earthly job ... praying the Lord will open the doors for one ... if we are still here later this year. I’m thankful for: - Owning a Bible - Freedom of worship/fellowship on Internet forum boards & thru emails - Living in America - The Lord’s goodness, care, protection & gifts including my furry 4-legged pal who stays faithfully by my side and entertains me. Nice watchman: thankful for both jobs (ability to work remotely) safe neighborhood (currently) living in America Spiritually - My salvation (no one can snatch that away) Our soon coming wedding with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords All my children, grandchildren, lots of family and friends going up with me The continued challenges, spiritual stimulation, and encouragement from my RITAN family (going up soon too) Online Prophecy videos (Hibbs, Markell, Amir, JD, Prophecy Wattchers, etc...) :prayer-hands: I am thankful to God that He saves us and promises us a wonderful future for my wife and all our dear animals for the rest of my family and friends for my job to provide what we need for peace of mind in the midst of troubled times. Experiencing so much of God's goodness. Enjoying His favor towards me and my family. I am not in want. Thanking God I'm not as dumb as I look! Tee, hee, hee TR
