Thankful Thursday

6:38 PM | Posted by Lori ~ The Simple Life at Home | | Edit Post

I'm just so grateful to be home and amongst family and friends. God is so good.

I'm grateful to be a citizen of a country where we can vote freely, without fear.

I'm grateful that the transition from one administration to the next will be smooth and non-violent, unlike in many countries of the world.

I'm grateful that I know that God is ultimately sovereign and in control of who leads our country. Even though I don't understand His plans, I know that He does.

I'm grateful that God is faithful, even when I am faithless and foolishly think I am too busy to spend time with Him.

I'm grateful that His love for me is not based on what I do, but on who He is. And He never fails.

For more things to be grateful for, visit Grace Alone.

I'm sure you can really see the differences between our free country and where you are living. I hope you enjoy the great weather we're having in AZ.; November 6, 2008 at 8:02 PM
