Today

Today I am thankful for family, my parents and siblings, and also my own family that we're buiding, my husband and children. Each one of these people is a gift in my life. I am thankful for a roof over my head, plenty of food to eat and all my needs being met. And I'm thankful for the bountiful, uncountable blessings that God has showered upon me throughout my life.

But most of all I am thankful for His gift of life. The amazing, miraculous gift of salvation that He has shared with me, even though I don't deserve it, even though I could never earn it and never have a chance to pay it back. What would you do if someone you knew gave you a million dollars even though they knew you could never pay them back? Would you say thank you every day? Would you try to honor that person by using that gift to its fullest potential? Would you try to do nice things for that person, just to show how much you appreciate what they've done for you? What would you do?

Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.
~ Psalm 105:1
