be thankful. 2009.

Thanksgiving!

Psalm 69:30
I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving.

Psalm 100:4
Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!

Psalm 147:7
Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre!

Yesterday, as my family and I shared our thanksgiving feast and spent the day together, I was thinking about so many things. I was reminded of the MANY blessings in my life and the many things I have to be thankful for. God, in His sweet mercy, as granted me forgiveness from my sins and brought me to Himself. Through Christ's death and resurrection I have been made new. Indeed, I am a NEW creation. So, that is the the pinnacle of what I am thankful for. . . and there are hundreds of other things as well. . .
