Give Thanks

Hebrews 13:15 - By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Continually-means just that-continually!!! We usually give God thanks for our food before we eat and we may even thank Him for the clothes we wear and the home we live in. Sometimes we thank Him for the bright sunshine and the air we breathe. Around Thanksgiving we count our Blessings and think of all God has done.

We need to realize every good thing in our lives comes from God and He deserves our praise - Not only for what He has done and given us but because of who He is!

Psalms 100 - 1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

A poet once wrote “Thou hast given so much to me, Give one thing more-a grateful heart.”

Gratefulness is the root of Contentment and Peace.

We should be like David and say—“His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

God Bless and Keep you and have a “Happy Thanksgiving”.

SEEING CLEARLY

I had my eye surgery yesterday and all went well. Praise the Lord!

Prior to my eye surgery, I saw everything in a blur (out of focus).

After the surgery, everything is clear (in focus).

Just like in life, many things can cause us to be out of focus.

When we have wrong motives, selfishness, lusts, situations

And circumstances we can’t see the way through blind us.

The world has caused Christian views and values to become

blurred. We must bring things into focus.

My vision was made clear in the natural and spiritually

our vision can be made clear too.

We can ask God to open our eyes to see as He sees.

Willing to open our eyes and our hearts to His Will.

Get our focus off us and on God and those around

us that need our Help, Love, Acceptance, and Forgiveness.


In His Amazing Love,
