A Month of Thanksgiving to God Creator of Heaven and Earth

Who will join me, (along with many from my church) in a month of an “Attitude of Gratitude?”

This month, let’s make the choice to deny our flesh and ask the Lord to grow us in Him, His grace, His love, His forgiveness: His Holy Spirit, our Comforter, and present help in trouble.

Help us put off our “self” and put on Christ and His Spirit of love by believing in Him and His great sacrifice He made for us.

Jesus took all the pain on the cross that we, who believe receive great gain.

Can we think about His sacrifice and deny our flesh in some way? Join me to hunger more for Him and ask to “eat” time in His presence, hope in His strength, and be empowered by His grace.

O how restless is the foe Jesus’ kingdom to overthrow.

Shall not we as zealous prove to proclaim redeeming love.

Let us publish saving grace, scatter life in every place . . .

Dare the world and satan’s frown – turn his kingdom upside down!” (Words penned hundreds of years ago, author unknown):

We are thankful dear Lord that You are on the throne!

Help us know Your Good News above the news of this day:

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth” Psalm 46: 10.

We believe in Your Word. Help our unbelief!

I'm a believer in Jesus. Because of this, I am married to a wonderful husband and the mom of a large family. For those who have battled cancer, or any other tragedy or disease, you might understand, I had a choice to get better or bitter. I chose to give thanks to Jesus for my every breath. For that reason alone, wanting to proclaim His goodness, do I write - Toni
