From time to time one should take a good look at what is valuable in this life. On the surface life may seem okey, but the deeper that look will change the appearance. Our country, after relying on our economy for a long time, is crying for help. The help that is needed can only come from the Lord. He does promise that if we would humble ourselves and pray and turn from our evil(greed) ways, He will answer our prayer and heal our economy. This can happen if each of us will search his heart and seek the Lord, then life will get back on the right tract. I do thank Christ for this promise which gives us hope, and makes life worth it.

1 CommentThank God for birthdays. I have had some of the best memories on my birthday, so much so that I’ve stretched out my celebration to a month-long period.

Leave a CommentIn our family we have been claiming a miracle, and we are standing on the Word that with God all things are possible. I pray it will happen today for His Glory and I am thankful for that.
I am also thankful for the rest that Jon spoke about in his blog yesterday. Here it is the Bible: “Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it………..Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,” Heb. 4:1 & 3 but the unbelievers will not enter his rest. I understand God’s rest to be physical, mental and spiritual rest. Yes we can run and not tire. Each one of us has a physical limit for work and stress, that is why we have the night for sleep and God gives us the rest. “He gives his beloved sleep.” For this I am thankful.

Leave a CommentI am thankful for rest. It’s kind of ironic to be thankful for something that, at the moment, I don’t feel like I’m getting. Looking back, though, I know my God has never failed me. As far as I’m concerned, peace and rest are very similar. With rest, I find peace. With peace, I find rest. Knowing that God has never failed to give me rest, well… I’m at peace that rest is coming very soon!

Leave a CommentToday I have so much to be thankful for, but I do not feel energetic or enthusiastic about sharing. Here I am forcing myself to do so. I know the enemy of good would like to keep us from sharing and expressing our gratitude to God which makes us happy. A thankful heart is a happy heart. I daily intercede on behalf of my family and the Lord is honoring my prayer of intersession. For this I am very thankful to Jesus for caring about my concerns. Glory to His name!

Leave a CommentIt may seem a bit simple and shallow, but the fact of the matter is that Christ cares about the littlest things in our lives. As we saw Brett Favre play yeaterday, my family and I were very happy. I do thank the Lord for that, and we are praying for the safety of the players. Go Jets! Go Favre! If you are a fan of another player that is O.K. May God bless him for you and remember to be thankfull.

1 CommentToday I am thankful for the many things I usually take for granted. The sun is so bright and warm, the air is fresh and crisp, the birds are singing everywhere. The trees look so beautiful and green and the shade underneath for those who want to sit and relax. I am thankful that I am able to enjoy such a beauty. Today it is different in New Orleans, in the Bahamas, and in the African desert, I do pray for those who live there. So thank you Jesus for these things that I often take for granted, so forgive me for forgetting to be thankful.

Leave a CommentI am thankful for my great wife, today we start our 36th blessed year together. Before we were married, I used to hear about other couples celebrating their silver anniversaries and it seemed miraculous, now we are looking for our golden, in 14 years. If the Lord returns before that date, it would be a bigger celebration.

Leave a CommentI went to the Angels game last night (baseball). I am thankful for experiencing a comeback win with 40,000 other people cheering louder than you can imagine. I almost lost my voice.

Leave a CommentI thank God that my wife is able to travel to Taiwan to watch her brother be married. She was born there and this is the first time she’s ever been able to go back, 30 years later. God is so good!
