A Simple Thank You!

Leave a comment

Father God, Thank You for the simple things, and yet, the not-so-simple things:

Thank You, for waking us up this morning.
Thank You, for the life we live.
Thank You, for every provision
Your loving hand, to us, gives.

For this salvation that lifts our souls
Each and every day.
For the Holy Ghost within us.
Who forever came to stay.

No elaborate or grand gesture
There ever needs to be.
A simply genuine thank You
from our hearts to Thee.

We have so much to be grateful for.
We could never count each one.
But, Lord, we thank You anyway,
With love, from Your daughters and sons.

“O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.” 1 Chronicles 16:34

“I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.” Psalm 9:1

GIVE THANKS

𝗚rateful hearts rise with the morning light,
𝗜lluminated by the blessings we often overlook.
𝗩oices lift in quiet appreciation,
𝗘mbracing the gifts found in ordinary days.

𝗧houghts turn to kindness shared and received,
𝗛olding close the moments that matter most.
𝗔s we pause to reflect, gratitude grows,
𝗡urturing peace within our spirit,
𝗞eeping us mindful of life’s simple wonders,
𝗦oftly reminding us to give thanks always.

“In every thing 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18

*This is not my original writing, but one I felt led to share on this special day.
Blessings~

More Thankyou’s Than I Can Count

“Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.” Psalm 40:5

How many times can you tell the Lord thank you and it will be enough? How many blessings, mercies, or graces can you add, and would you find adequate praise in the sum of these alone, and then stop? How many times can we open our mouths and our hearts and completely fulfill the holy order of praise due to His holy name?

My friends, for what God has done for us, it will never be enough. His blessings, His “wonderful works,” His “thoughts… to us-ward,” are more than we could ever count or imagine! Therefore, our praise, our tongues of worship, our voices of thanksgiving can never be too much.

In prayer this morning, my mind traveled through portions of my life’s journey, and God brought me through every one of those days, even the hard ones, to the moment of today. And my heart is overwhelmingly grateful in a good way.

I cannot count back to God all the goodnesses He has shown me, for I am sure, the half of it I don’t even know. But I can approach Him with a grateful heart and try in my best way possible, this day and every day, to express my most humblest of thanks.

Today, will you step aside into a quiet place, if you haven’t already, a time with just you and the Father, and let Him know how much you love Him, how grateful you are, and thank Him for the “more than can be numbered” times He has been there for you. I’m sure you would agree, that God deserves more thank you’s than any of us could ever count.

“O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer’s praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!” – Charles Wesley (Public Domain)

🍁Happy Thanksgiving🍁

Blessings to each one ~
