“In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I am thankful today for you! I am thankful for everyone who reads our daily Freedom Fighter blogs.

I am thankful for the men who write each week to encourage you to walk in victory.

I am thankful for my wife who loves Jesus and is an amazing prayer warrior.

I am thankful that all four of my biological kids love Jesus and are walking in victory.

I am thankful for four in-law kids that I love as if they were my own. They all love Jesus and are walking in victory.

I am thankful that all buy the two youngest grands have made professions of faith in Christ.

And most of all I am thankful for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and for saving me.

 

I read this little prayer this morning:

DEAR GOD:

I want to thank You for what you have already done.

I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking you right now.

I am thanking you because I am alive.

I am thanking you because I made it through the day’s difficulties.

I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.

I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.

I’m thanking YOU, God…You haven’t given up on me.

 

What are you thankful for today?
