Reminding myself about this little word today..... all....and praying for strength to be obedient. In ALL things give thanks. Maybe you need this reminder and an extra dose (or two or three) of strength, too. Father God, To give thanks in ALL things. ALL things. The good, the bad, the happy, the sad. Sometimes, its a struggle. A battle. A knock-down-drag out-fight. And yet, we know this truth. You are in ALL things. You are at work in ALL things. You see and You know and You love - ALL the time. Father, give us the strength to surrender everything in our life to You in a spirit of thanksgiving, as a sacrifice of praise. Forgive us, Father God, for the times thank you, Lord doesnt come easy from our lips or our heart. Forgive us for the times we fail to recognize Your faithfulness, Your mercy, and Your grace in every situation, in every circumstance, in every trial, in every tear. Oh, Father God, how could we not offer You thanksgiving? How could we not be thankful? For you, Oh Lord, are holy and just, compassionate and kind, beautiful beyond words. Thank you, Abba Daddy. Thank you, Almighty God. Thank you, Jesus. May our lives always overflow in thanksgiving to You. In Jesus precious name we pray, Amen.~
