Thursday, November 24th - Thanks (Psalm 136:1)
I am simply going to thank God for the ability to give Thanks at anytime. This has been a wonderful journey of giving Thanks to God daily for the past month. I pray that for all of us we will continue to daily give God the thanks for all He does. There is constantly something we could give Him thanks for, and I pray we take the time to do so. Don't let your thanksgiving stop. Make it a daily habit!


Wednesday, November 25th - Heart (Psalm 139:13)
One thing that amazes me is the fact that from the moment of conception and from the moment the heart starts beating in the womb, it is that heartbeat that will carry a person through life--for many, many years. We don't typically stop and think about our heart beating, but we know that if it stops, our life ceases to be. Thank God for the beating heart that is working inside each of us. Thank Him for the way He wonderfully and perfectly made our bodies. Thank Him for each beat of the heart that keeps you alive to enjoy His blessings. Thank You, God!


Tuesday, November 23rd - Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8)
I am thankful for the Holy Spirit living in me. What reassurance we have in knowing that we don't do life alone...that we are never away from the Power of God. Because with the Spirit of God, we have Christ in us. Christ promised the Holy Spirit would come to us, and it did. Thank God for living within you through His Spirit. Understand that you constantly have the strength and the power of God within you. Thank You God for the Holy Spirit which lives in me.


Monday, November 22nd - Jesus Christ (John 3:16)
I need a Savior. You need a Savior. Our Savior is not going to be found in anything in this World. There is only one thing that can save us from our sins--Jesus Christ. Thank God for sending His son to live as our example, to die on a cross, and to resurrect from the grave. Thank God for allowing us to have a relationship with Him through His Son. Because of God's love for us and for giving His Son, we have the hope of victory over death, the knowledge of our sins being forgiven, and the hope of eternity with Christ in Heaven forever. Thank God for Jesus Christ, our Savior.


Sunday, November 21st - Scriptures (2 Timothy 3;16)
Thank God for His word. Thank Him for the wisdom, encouragement, and promises that are held within it. Also, Thank Him for the fact that you have a Bible--or several. I think we take for granted the fact that we have the opportunity to read God's Word. There are people in this world who don't have a Bible for various reasons. Thank God for the fact that you can go to His Word at any time.


Saturday, November 20th - Forgiveness (Colossians 3:13 / Luke 7:49)
I am thankful for the forgiveness that God has offered to each of us to have our sins taken away. Also, I am glad that we can offer and receive forgiveness when we need to in our lives. It is such a great feeling when we forgive someone, or when we ask someone for forgiveness and they give it. Thank God for the gift of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection which ensures the forgiveness of our sins. Thank God for the ability to offer and receive forgiveness from each other.


Friday, November 19th - Running Water (John 4)
Before you think I have gone for a long shot on this one....you are right. This is one that many of us take for granted everyday. We wake up at night to grab a drink. We use it in the morning for our shower. We brush our teeth with it. We use it to cook. We use it for our toilets. Did you ever stop to thank God for the fact that you have water at your disposal at any time. There are some who do not have clean, running water accessible at just anytime they want it. Thank God that you are able to live a life that allows you fresh, running water whenever you want it.
