Thanks


Thanksgiving Day is tomorrow but we should be thankful on a daily basis. You might ask how in the world do you expect me to be thankful on a daily basis. With all that is going on I think I might be able to be thankful once a week or so. Oh I am so sorry to hear that you just lost your mate? I didn’t lose my mate you might say; no! Well then you have something to be Thankful for. They tell me you have cancer; I’m so sorry to hear the bad news. Wait you might say I don’t have cancer either. Well then there is something else for you to be thankful for. I met a young man this past weekend that amazed me, he was legally blind. Blind in one eye and had tunnel vision in the other eye. I spent a little time with him and not one time did he complain or say poor me. But instead he went about his business with joy and gladness. I did say at one time that he scared me for I thought he was going to walk off a platform. He just laughed and said oh no I have the lay out here don’t worry. He was thankful for all he had and showed it. What a joy it was just to be around him.  So we should give thanks daily.
 Psa 118:1  O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
1Co 15:57  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 15:58  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

WHEN I LOOK AROUND AND SEE
THE GOOD THINGS HE DOES FOR ME
I KNOW I'M UNWORTHY OF THEM ALL
BUT HIS BLESSINGS HE FREELY GIVES
I OWE MY LIFE TO HIM
I'VE GOT SO MUCH TO THINK HIM FOR.
CHORUS :
AND I'VE GOT SO MUCH TO THANK HIM FOR
SO MUCH TO PRAISE HIM FOR
WELL YOU SEE NOW HE'S BEEN SO GOOD TO ME
 AND WHEN I THINK OF WHAT HE'S DONE
AND WHERE HE BROUGHT ME FROM
I'VE GOT SO MUCH TO THANK HIM FOR
VERSE 2 :
AND SOMETIMES WHILE ON THIS WAY
I KNEEL I STOP AND SAY
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR ME
ONE DAY I'LL REACH SWEET HEAVENS SHORE
OH PLEASE JUST LET ME KNEEL ONCE MORE
I'VE GOT SO MUCH TO THANK HIM FOR
Have a very Thankful Thanksgiving and be thankful for what we do have and I’ll write some more Monday.
