Thankfulness

I'm thankful for the sunsets and sunrises
For the dew on the leaves
I'm thankful for all of God's promises
I'm thankful for babies and the gift of life
I'm thankful for music that glorifies the Lord
I'm thankful for majestic mountains that show off
the power of God Almighty!
I'm thankful for family and friends
I'm thankful for puppies :)
I'm thankful for the cold weather
but also for the sunshine that warms me up
I'm thankful for the light of the moon
I'm thankful for a warm home

Most importantly, I'm thankful for the Bible and the old rugged cross.
I'm thankful that Christ died to cover my sins, but just as importantly, I'm thankful that he rose again to show his power over death and sin. I'm thankful that his death paid the penalty for all my sins. I'm no longer a debtor because of Jesus Christ. Only Christ's blood could pay the cost! I'm thankful to serve the Living God that changed my life forever!

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13

How deep the Father's Love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He would give his only Son
To make a wretch his treasure

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns his face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross
My guilt upon his shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no powr's no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom


Thank you Lord!
