Happy Thanksgiving! Time is just flying by, not sure if it is because I am getting older or just time is going faster..... humm something to think on. But not today! Today if full of food, fun and family but before this all begins, except for the turkey in the oven and the ham in the cooker, I want to share something with anyone who reads this blog.

2 Corinthians 9:15: Thanks be to God for His indescribable Gift.

That gift is what I am the most thankful for today and every day.  His salvation. I just found this verse this am as I was looking for a verse of thanksgiving for this entry.  And believe me there are hundreds of them but this one really says it all. My salvation is the thing I am most thankful for because without God's loving hand on my life I would have none of the other things I am thankful for. I am His child and through that indescribable gift I will be his child from now and through eternity.  It determines my destiny. It guides my thinking and my daily life.  I am not always as appreciative of this gift and I am not always respectful of the gift I have been given, but thanks be to God because He loves me and when I go to Him with heavy heart of failure and beg for His forgiveness, He picks me up and sets me back up on my way and I try to do better. 

I don't think I have ever seen this verse before.  It touches my heart because what a beautiful way to explain what God's given us through the giving of His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die on the cross in such a cruel way for all of my sins, all of my sins! He never thought twice about doing it.  He never hesitated to move ahead with His plan of salvation.  He was never distracted or drawn away from doing what He knew would need to be done in order for me to have any hope, any future.  I am going to do my best to remember this today and try for all times.  God gave me this wonderful gift and He only asks that I share it with others.  That I don't hesitate, or get distracted or drawn away from doing the work He has set before me.

I am so thankful for all the things of my life.  The good things, the hard things, the things that don't seem fun, the hard work of life and growing old.  I am thankful for hubby and children and grandbabies as well as extended family.  I am thankful for my church, my pastor and the priveledge of worshiping God.  I am thankful for my job, my co-workers and Boss' who care.  I am thankful for all that has been given to me, good things and sometimes not so good things(aches and pains) because I know that God sees my life and He knows my heart and even when I don't know what to say or do, He looks down at me and knows that I am His child and He loves me unconditionally.

If you are reading this blog, the only thing I ask of you it to know that God is real and He is the only person who can save you from going to Hell.  He only asks that you reach out to Him and confess your sins to Him and believe He will remove them from as far as the east is from the west and He will forgive you and create in you a new person; His child.  Know Him, Seek Him, Ask Him, Recieve Him!

Happy Turkey Day to all!!
