Thank you Lord for this time of thanksgiving . A time in our year that we set aside for the specific purpose of giving thanks for the many blessings we have received, blessings we do not deserve. Lord, if we got what we deserved we would all be doomed to Hells fire, but because of your wonderful plan of salvation, you have given us a way to attain a home in Heaven with you! Thank you! Let us enjoy this time together looking to you and developing a lifestyle of thanks living instead of just giving you thanks on one day a year! Thank You, Blessed Lord God, for Your ability to take what we consider tragedy and turn it into a treasure. Thank You, for those You have called home to be with You. Their absence from this earth reminds us to keep our eyes fixed on heaven. Thank You, Lord God, that we have an inheritance in the heavenly places...something that this world can never steal from us and we could never selfishly squander. Thank You, God, for the greatest gift You could ever give us: forgiveness through Your perfect Sons death on the cross on our behalf. Thank you, God, for the righteousness You credited toward us, through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Its a righteousness we could never attain on our own. And thank You not only for our eternal salvation, but for the salvation You afford us every day of our lives as You save us from ourselves, our foolishness, our own limited insights, and our frailties in light of Your power and strength. Thank You, God, for all that You have allowed and not allowed in our lives . For we commit our lives anew to You this day and ask that You would continue to remind us, throughout our days, that You are God. Lord, we are so grateful for the heritage that is ours! Our ancestors honored and trusted in you as they stood for independence from tyranny because they understood that only through complete dependence on you is true liberty possible! Strengthen us as we stand for truth! May our actions glorify you and honor our Southern ancestry! It is in the holy name of Jesus Christ that I pray. Amen
