Give thanks to God

Simple thread: Give sincere thanks to God. This thread isn't about debating God's reality or whether you believe the Bible's teachings. Please, be respectful. If this thread makes you want to post something sarcastic or contrary, do so elsewhere.

But, if you see worth in thanking God for what you see at work in your life, please feel free to post here.

Thanks.

woot!

    I'm thankful to God for my family, for my good health, for my home, for my job, car and for meeting my needs.
    I thank God for the peace that surpasses all understanding.
    I thank God for life and strength.
    I thank God for the ability to forgive folks who've wronged me.
    I thank God for His wisdom, godly and skillful knowledge and understanding.
    I thank God for honoring His word, that it doesn't return to Him void.
    I thank God for declaring me the head and not the tail, above and not beneath.
    I thank God for healing my father, for bringing him back from the brink of death so miraculously that the doctors and nurses were astounded.
    I thank God for saving me from a tornado whose power damaged homes and structures surrounding me but left mine practically untouched. So, I thank Him for His protection.
    I thank God for forgiving my sins, for imputing unto me righteousness because I trust in the sacrificial death and miraculous resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
    I thank God for His love that originated that salvation and that fuels my day-to-day existence.
    I thank God for His favor! For his declaring me His handiwork created in Christ Jesus unto a lifestyle of good works that He preordained for me!
    I thank God for friends of every walk and ideology and station, for how He blesses me through our interaction and how, through them, He radiates His beauty and love.
    I thank God for the bad times, for by them I learned that all things truly do work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
    I thank God for being faithful unto me, when I've been anything but to Him.
    I thank God for His truth, holiness and His majesty. To God be the glory!

woot!

Thank you for:

- Allowing me to see there is still beauty in life
despite the ugliness of societal ills and despair that
continue to exists in the world

- For giving me the strength to uphold my pride and dignity
and never being afraid to voice my opinion or standing up
against societal ills, despite the criticism I receive for
doing so

- For creating the “human” in me so that I am always conscious that
this is not and never was a perfect world

- For judging or defining me as a human being, by my character and spirit
and not my skin color

- For showing me how to "Believe" and allowing me to be "ME"

- For standing by my side at every second, minute and hour when
those who choose to become my enemies try to tear me down
and steal my joy, but fail because of the power of your aura
and angels that continuously surround me

- For showing me how to let go of friendships that never were and to
move on

- For inspiration, compassion and faith

- For teaching me that life’s lessons never end and that some good can
come from bad experiences

- For letting me know that no human is "perfect" and will eventually err

- For putting my trust in you and not a human being, who hides
behind your name, pray and say "Amen," but continues to make a career
out of causing harm and projecting negativity in the lives of others
because of the bitterness within their souls

- For making me aware that not everyone in this world will like or
or love me, but that "I" love who "I" am, as long as my "heart"
and spirit are good

- For showing me how to continue to "rise above" with a smile, despite
any negativity, mockery, sarcasm or hate

- For allowing me to know the difference between "love" and "hate"
and "right" and "wrong"

- For giving me a home I can call “home” and a family that I can call
anytime to say “I love you”…and…

- For the peace and joy in my life, for which I am truly
“blessed"



(and "Thank You" to Threadbare for creating this thread)

Peace smile

I want to thank God for doing an awesome thing in the life of my best friend. The miracle I'm observing in his life is an encouragement to me, and it couldn't have come at a better time for him.

Thanks, God!!! woot!

I thank God for His Word, the Lord Jesus the Christ.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will trouble, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness,
or danger, or sword?
As it is written, "For your sake we encounter death all day long;
we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we have complete victory
through him who loved us!
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor heavenly rulers,
nor things that are present, nor things to come,
nor powers,
nor height, nor depth,
nor anything else in creation
will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:35-39)

I thank God for His Son, His Son's sacrifice, and for allowing a intermediary
to make salvation possible.
I am thankful for the ability and opportunity to pray and for prayers answered and unanswered.
i am thankful for another day to be a better man today than I was yesterday.

Meanwhile, civic knowledge is enhanced by discussing public affairs, taking part in civic activities and reading about current events and history, the group said.


Which is why we have P & R!
