Thankfulness, day 26, 27, 28

been a bit behind as I try to scrape a Thanksgiving dinner together and am a bit gimpy still from the fall down the stairs!

I am so thankful for how wonderful it is to see people who give of themselves--giving love and time, and resources and hospitality. When it can be so hard to give, as times are difficult and we are limited, it is wonderful to see people share of themselves. Thank you God for people who labor in love out of faith. Thank you for people who believe that it is worth it. Thank you for those who are ridiculously generous and for those who go beyond what would seem possible to help those in need. Thank you God. It's a sign of your goodness to us.

Thank you for Jesus and for coming to rescue us, for coming as one of us. Thank you for being faced with every temptation but remaining with out sin. Thank you for the suffering you endured, humbling yourself to the point of death on a cross. Thank you for not letting sin and death have the last word. Thank you for raising Jesus from the dead. Thank you for life forever in his name. And that it really is life. Thank you that you aren't finished with us yet, thank you that you continue to help us, thank you that we can always come to you through Jesus. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We could never stop thanking you!
