I wanted to post for Thanksgiving, but wasn't sure what I wanted to post about.
I think I have finally decided.
While Thanksgiving is a day set aside to give thanks, let it not be the only day you count your many blessings!! It is God's will that you give thanks!!!
1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV
[18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
This morning I recorded 50 things right off the top of my head that I'm thankful for.
The list could be much longer...there is so much more to say about my abundantly blessed life, but God is so good, the list would go on forever…
So here it is…
{fifty things I'm thankful for}

We can give thanks in everything as long as our eyes are upon Him and not the waves!
