what am I thankful for? I am thankful for all the trials and tribulations endured in my life that has brought me to Christ as my Savior. I am too blessed to be stressed about anything. By His grace, through faith I lean on, rely and trust in the Lord. I don’t know what causes ‘us’ to loose that thankful attitude, I do know what to do about those times, I pray.

I am thankful for Jesus! For His loving sacrifice on my behalf, and for my salvation that He has paid for in full! I am thankful for the Holy Spirit, Who comforts, encourages, empowers, guides, and convicts! I am thankful for the Father’s love, that devised the plan that would redeem my lost soul and give me life! While I could list a hundred things that I am thankful for, nothing compares to the treasure I have in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!

This was a wonderful and much needed devotion for today and the rest of the year. We often get wrapped up in ourselves or what we need to get done and it drowns us, leaving us without a way to reach the surface and see what is TRUELY important.
Thank You

Thank you so much Dr. Muriel for today’s de-
votional. I really needed this reminder of all
that I am thankful for. I just been blessed with
a beautiful granddaughter, she very small but
she in good health. I am so thankful for God
healing and sustaining power for my husband
doing his time of recovering from a foot injury.
I am so thankful that my I am saved and I know the Lord, how did I ever survived without him in my life? On my birthday in Oct.
that morining I prayed as usual, thanking God
for another birthday. When I went into the bathroom, before I knew it a Spirit of thanks-
giving seem to flood over me. I began to give
myself to praise that led to worship unto him.
I cried and rejoice over him and his goodness.
When I got to work, later on that day my co-
worker surprise me with a beautiful card that
they each wrote moving words of expressions
to me. They also brought me my lunch and gave me money that was left over. When they
sung happy birthday to me, afterward it happen again a Spirit of thanksgiving came up-
on me and I began to praise God and express
how thankful I was. I even express how bless
I was to work with godly christian ladies, that
have sow into my life. Well it was one of those
tear jerking moments, I shedded tears and then others in the room begin to shed tears.
I am so thankful for the ministry of the Holy
Spirit who is my helper, that brings those things I need him to bring to my rememberance. The Holy Spirit is the one who
quicken my spirit with thanksgiving, he poured
it out in my spirit. I know from personal ex-
perience that being too focus on self and what
concern self, and not God focus. I as a christian must walk or live by life by faith and
not by sight. Many times I have allowed my
circumstances and the things I am dealing with
to consume to much of my time, energy and
focus. When I put my focus on the things of
God, like concerning myself with others, than
I am able to see more clearly the blessings of
God and how much I have to be truly thankful
for. Sisters in the Lord have a peaceful and a
joyful day in the Lord. Once again thank you
Dr. Muriel for such a heart searching devotional.
