What I am Thankful For

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever."
Psalm 136:1
Here's a few things I'm thankful for:
1. My Savior
2. My husband
3. My children
4. My family (parents, siblings, inlaws)
5. My friends (Love ya'll!)
6. My Church Family (Love ya'll, all of you are in my friends group!)
7. The Ministry God called me to
8. God's abundant blessings and provision
9. My life in Christ
10. Seeing God work in the hearts of people.
11. Watching children grow in Christ.
12. Seeing my 18 year old son read his Bible first thing, thinking no one is watching through the crack of his door.
13. Seeing my 15 year old daughter worship the Lord with all of her heart, taking notes during service, and youth group.
14. Seeing my 10 year old son make a beeline to his Bible first thing in the morning to read God's word.
15. Walking into this same 10 year old's room in the early morning, to find him on his knees praying. Then being told, "Mom, don't bother me in the mornings. I'm having my quiet time!" (An echo of what I said to him when he found me on my knees early one morning. Parents, when you walk the walk, little feet will follow in your steps!)
16. Spending time with my children and husband.
17. The peace and joy that permeates my heart.
18. God providing our oldest son a scholarship to a good Christian College. Never dreamed we could ever afford it!
19. God answering our prayers with AWESOME deeds!
AND, most importantly,
20. God's amazing love!
There is so much more that I am thankful for, but too numerous to name. All I can say is Thank You, Lord! I don't deserve any of these blessings. You are so good!
What are you thankful for?
In His Love, Cathy
