Being Thankful...
This week, I'm starting a series of sermons on the topic of "Being Thankful." After reading this week's passage in I Chronicles 16, I decided it was time for me to come up with a list of things that I'm thankful to God about. So, here's the start of my list (hopefully over time I'll add to it, but with the realization that the list will never be completed!).
I'm Thankful to God for:
His kindness
His strength
His control of all things
His love
His stability
His compassion
His wisdom
His heart for children
His intimacy
His knowledge
His patience
His persistence
His truthfulness
His trustworthiness
His beauty
His creativitiy
His generosity
His confidence
His ingenuity
His orientation for detail
His orientation for the big picture
His selflessness
His ever-presence
...And, I can go on! But, maybe this list will help you start your own list of what is it about God that you are thankful. And, as you can tell, I didn't once say I was thankful for his salvation - which I am extremely thankful for. These are just his traits. Wait till I get to the list of all the things that he has done that I'm thankful for - wow, will that ever be a long list!
