A Prayer of Thankfulness

Jesus is everything to me. I’m thankful to know him and the power of his resurrection. I’m thankful for the Spirit that guides me into all truth. I’m grateful for God’s grace to me that I can be one of his children and a part of his church.

I continue to marvel at the beautiful church building we have in NYC. I’m thankful for the people who have served and are serving here. I’m thankful for the outreach these people do and for how the sanctuary fills on Sundays. I’m thankful for Queens gospel tract workers. I love that they have baby Willow Ann!

I’m also thankful for the church in Poughkeepsie, for our brothers and sisters there, and how they accept me as one of them. The God of heaven has blessed me with small insight into many of the cultures of the people he made. I’m especially grateful to have a Liberian granddaughter who shares my love for beaches and bubble tea.

I’m blessed to have known a country childhood on a simple farm with a loving family, with Sunday dinners at Grandpas’, and holidays spent surrounded by cousins.

I thank God that by going forth in faith, he’s provided for our needs. It’s because of him that we live here. He opened the door for Elmhurst Hospital to employ Laurence, and God knows how little I had to do with being placed in a farmer’s market on Roosevelt Island.

Tears of gratitude come for God’s call to Israel and Sarah and that they chose him. I’m thankful God will continue to draw people to him from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof.

Laurence brought me coffee this morning, like he does every morning. God spoke through his Word, like he does every morning. It’s all about him! To him be glory and power for ever and ever! In Jesus name, Amen.
