Recently, we have been talking a lot about being thankful. Trying to cover what we should truly be thankful for. This is a very important topic. One that we will continue talking about. As this day begins, I\u2019m trying to narrow down what it is I\u2019m thankful for to put into this devotion. Not an easy task. As I am thankful for many things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obvious answers would be health, family, friends, etc. And that is perfectly fine. We should be thankful for those things. I know I am. But today, I\u2019m going to mention three things. I\u2019m thankful for having a loving God that we can praise and worship. Isn\u2019t that incredible! We get to sing to him. Lift our voices to him. Sometimes when I do so, I am moved to tears. Certain songs do that to me. Even If by MercyMe does that. Those of you that know my story know why. Do any songs come to mind for you? I am thankful that we have a God that we can pour out our hearts too. We get to pray to him. Talk to him. Ask questions. Ask for advice. I love that about God. And finally, I\u2019m thankful that we have a God who is always there for us. A God who sent his son to die on the cross for us some 2000 years ago. God never waivers. Even when we don\u2019t think he is there, he is there. He\u2019s always present. He will never let us down. There might be times we think so, but we are wrong. He knows what is best for us. Although we might not agree. Can you relate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So as you enjoy Thanksgiving holiday week, keep in mind that we have a Lord and Savior whose love is so vast that we will never be able to comprehend just how big it is. We have a Lord and Savior who is waiting with open arms for us to run too. He is the Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. He is everything that matters. The list goes on, and on, and on. And that is awesome. Before I close this devotion, I also want to ask you to do one more thing. Not just for me. I want to ask you to keep our troops in your hearts. A large portion of them are not home during the holiday season. Pray for them. Pray for their families. Pray to God to put a hedge of protection around them. I am humbled by their willingness to serve us. I am thankful for them. I ask you to be so as well. I love you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
