ARE YOU GIVING THANKS?
by Lewis E. Thomas ARE YOU GIVING THANKS! Do you have a thank you list that you offer up to God?
Do you think this is a question sort of strange and odd?
Do you "take for granted" all the blessings that come from God above?
Do you ignore all the ways that God shows you his love?
Do you give God thanks for giving you a home and a roof over your head?
Do you thank Him for your clothes and for your bed?
Do you thank God for your job, and a steady income to meet your needs?
Or do you think you got all those things on "your own" and for God you have no need?
God gives you health and the breath that you breathe!
Even if you curse Him and say; "GOD IS SOMEONE I DO NOT NEED"!
Do you give God thanks for your electricity, food, and drink?
Do you give Him thanks for overlooked things like your old kitchen sink?
Do you thank God that you are not homeless and on the streets today?
Do you give God "Thanks" everytime you pray?
Do you thank Him for relatives and for friends?
Do you thank Him for sending His Son Jesus to die for your sins?
Do you have a "thank you list" or does that never cross your mind?
Better start thanking God while you still have the time!
Do you thank God and "count" all the blessings in your life?
Like your children, grand children, your siblings, husband or your wife?
"Everything" you have and own is a "GIFT FROM GOD"!
GIVE GOD THANKS "EVERYDAY" ON THAT PATH YOU TROD!
There are multitudes around the world with no hope, who suffer hunger and disease!
DONT YOU NEED TO THANK GOD THAT YOUR NOT ONE OF THESE?
Lewis E. Thomas

Ref:
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
