Extremely Blessed and Extremely Thankful

without comments

As Thanksgiving rolls around this year, I’m reminded of how I am extremely blessed.

  • I have a Lord and Savior that offered grace and eternal life in heaven to me when I deserved extreme punishment.
  • I have a great set of Christian parents that raised me right.
  • I have a wonderful church, pastor and church family.  They encourage me, help me grow, and they’re a joy to worship with each week.
  • I have a job I enjoy and a boss I actually enjoy working for.
  • I’ve been blessed with the talent to play a musical instrument.  From this, I’ve had the experience of playing with and learning from some of the best musicians around.  My musical “career” so far has been pretty awesome.
  • I’m blessed with material things that – far too often – I take for granted – a nice place a live,  a vehicle that gets me where I need to go, clothes, food, and much more.
Psalm 30:4

Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.

Psalm 118:1

118:1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Listen

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
