I’m so thankful first of all for Jesus and God calling me His daughter. I’m so thankful that God has purpose and a calling for not only my life but everyone’s life. I’m thankful He has called me to serve and proclaim His name in Ecuador and is blessing this Thanksgiving, even though we are all away from home. I’m thankful that He is growing me and changing the lives of my family and friends. I praise God for His unconditional agape love, and caring so deeply for us, being our Father, LORD, Savior, friend, counselor, Peace, Joy, and EVERYTHING else!! Our Papa is so good to us. And I thank the LORD for all He has done for me. I thank Him for providing all the financial needs for the Race.
Don’t just let Thanksgiving be a day where you give thanks to the LORD, but let us remember to praise Him at all times and in all circumstances, every minute of every day!
I love you all and am thankful you are all in my life, walking with me through this time, and constantly praying for me!!
God bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving friends:)
“15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do,whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” ( Colossians 3:15-17)
“16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. 3 Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his[a]; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. (Psalm 100)
“I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.2 I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.3 Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.11 Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.12 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry; 16 but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth. 17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. 18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. 19 The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;20 he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. 21 Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. 22 The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.” (Psalm 34)
“Praise awaits[b] you, our God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled.2 You who answer prayer, to you all people will come.3 When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave[c] our transgressions4 Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts!We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.5 You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,God our Savior,the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas,6 who formed the mountains by your power,armed yourself with strength,7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.9 You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly.The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.[d]10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops.11 You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance.12 The grasslands of the wilderness “overflow the hills are clothed with gladness.13 The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing.” (Psalm 65)
