ThanksGiving!



LORD, I praise You for all the blessings in my life.

I thank You for watching over my family each night.

I thank You for the new breath every morning.

I thank You for waking us up in the morning each day.

I thank You for the house we live in to stay warm in this cold weather.

I thank You for our talents You've given to us to serve You.

I thank You for giving us jobs.

I thank You for EVERYTHING!

...

And, of course, I thank You for giving me these fingers to type up words

to express my deepest gratitude toward Your never-failing love and goodness.

Grace by Eric Enstrom


The youth & some elementary kids did a fabulous job

playing their own musical instruments and singing the song

to give thanks to our wonderful Abba God with the song Give Thanks.



Give Thanks


Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks unto the Holy One

Give thanks because He's given

Jesus Christ, His Son

Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks unto the Holy One

Give thanks because He's given

Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"

Let the poor say, "I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us"

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"

Let the poor say, "I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us"


I pray that the Holy Spirit in them stirred their hearts today

as they were playing and singing the song for You.

I pray that the kids realized once again

how grateful we should be

for all the little and big things we take for granted.



LORD, help me to be content in You at all times.
