Thankful - Abby Sapp

Things to be thankful for …..

The alarm clock going off early in the morning, just means that we get to live another day. The lady that sits behind you in church and sings way off key just means that you are able to hear. Clothes
that are getting a little to tight just means that you have plenty of food to fill your belly. Hearing people complain about the government just means that we have the freedom of speech. Windows to wash, floors to vacuum and furniture to dust just means that the Lord has given you a house to live in and He has provided for you and has given us things that although it's not always fun, need to be cleaned. Having to go to the school everyday just means that the Lord has given us a brain to learn and gain more knowledge about everything the Lord has given us in this world. Sometimes when your English teacher gives you a book report to read we just think of it as a burden but we should really always just be thankful for our wonderful eyes that we can read with and see everything around us even though reading a book report can be a burden sometimes, we should be thankful that we are able to read the Bible everyday. I’m so thankful that the Lord gave us the Bible. I hope that you all have daily devotions and spend time with the Lord everyday. Most of all we should always be thankful and never forget what the Lord has done for us: He sent His only begotten Son to die for us so we could be saved. The Bible says in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” The Bible also says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” That verse clearly states that the Lord wants us to be thankful all the time. When your going through a hard time never forget what the Lord has done for us and what He has given us. We have so much to be thankful for.
