And
Reverence Your Holy Name
And
Praise And Worship You! 
I Am Blessed!
Thank You!

I Am Blessed!
Thank You!


I Thank You For The Beloved Jesus

The Unspeakable Gift That He Bought For Me
That Dread Day On Calvary!

THANKS GIVING: How Would You Feel...?!







Dear Ones,

The Reason That There Are So MANY VERSES In The Bible 
Regarding Asking For Gifts 
AND 
Thanksgiving For Benefits Received
Is
To Remind Us 
To Remember 
Our Manners!

Think For Yourself:

How Would You Feel About A Child 
Whose Voice Only Extended To Cover Two Things :


"Give Me ...!"

AND


"I Want ...!"


How Would You Feel About A Child 
Who Ignores Your Rules 
AND
Directions 
But
ALWAYS 
Has A Hand In Your Wallet Or Pocket!

How Would You Feel About A Child 
Who Never 
Humbly Asked 
For Anything 
BUT
Always Aggressively 
Presumptuously 
DEMANDS
That You Provide For Him Her
BUT
Is NEVER Willing 
To Go On Even The Smallest Errand For You!

How Would You Feel About 
Your Child 
Who Never Blesses Your Faithful Giving 
BUT
Who Curses You 
For Not Giving Into Their Very Often 
Foolish 
AND
Dangerous
Wants?

How Would You Really Feel About 
The God Who Gives His Children
Only 
Party Food And Favors 
BUT
Never Life-Sustaining Food?

How Would You Honestly Feel About 
The God Who Would Give 
A Growing Child 
A Homestead In Candy Land 
With The Stipulation That 
That Child Never Go To 
Vegetable Village
Nor To 
Wise Water-Ways
Nor To 
Heaven-Sent Glades?

Think On This:

The Very God Who Desires
To Hear Our Humble Prayers 
AND 
Petitions
IS
The Very Same God
Who Desires To Hear
Our Glorious Praise 
AND
Joyful Words Of Thanksgiving 
Before
When 
AND
After 
He Blesses Us
With The Desires Of Our Hearts!

Almighty God
Is Also
The Same God
Who Desires To Hear Us Say:

"Thank You, Father!"

For His Saving Grace
Protecting Us
From Making The Biggest Mistakes
Of Our Lives
By His Withholding
That Which Was Not
To Our Blessing!

When We Request A Favor
From A Friend
Do We Not Say:


"Thanks ... In Advance!"

Is Not The Living God
Worth Much More
Than This!


Lest We Forget ...

In Highest Gratitude
We Should Also "Throw In!" 
A Little Something Extra Each
For The Blessings Of:

  • Food
  • Shelter
  • Clothing
  • Life
  • Love
  • Health
  • Wealth
  • Friends
  • Family
  • Trees
  • Grass
  • Air
  • Sunshine
  • Rain
  • Exercise
  • Peace
  • Rest
  • Belief
  • Blessing
  • Faith
  • Living Hope
  • Hope For Glory
  • Etc., etc..
Saying "Thank You!" 
To Our Holy God 
AND
Praising Him 
For His Blessings Toward Us 
CANNOT 
Diminish Us 
In Neither 
Our Eyes Nor His! 

Praise Costs Us Nothing 
AND
Blesses Us Mightily 
In The Realm Of The Great Unknown!


Heaven's 
Unspeakable Glories 
Await!

Let Us Practice 
Our Praising
The Almighty God
For His Glorious Bounties
To Us
From 
All Like NOW!!

I Am Blessed! + Prayer - Father, Thank You For My Blessings!




I Am Blessed!
I don't Speak of it
But If God was "Mean" to Me
Everybody would Hear about it!

I Am Blessed!
I don't Speak of it
But If My Pantry was Bare
I would be Saying: "I Always Knew That God Does Not Care!"

I Am Blessed!
I don't Speak of it
But If Illness was in my Door
Everybody would be Hearing The "Why Me?!" Furor!

Amazingly, He Who Blesses Me
Does Not Need My Speech
To Provide Me with My Blessings!
He Provides
Because His Holy Love Abides
And He is My Guardian and My Guide
And The Holy Angels are Round About, and at My Side, and
The Holy Spirit in Me Resides!

I Don't Need to Talk About My Blessings
But I - From Now On - Will
For He who Provides
Comforts Me and Stills
All My Anxiety
About The Cup I Fill
And Reminds Me
Of His Rest and Peace
And Points Me Lovingly To The Day
When I Shall Have
Sweet, Sweet, Sweet Relief!

RECEIVED TODAY FROM HOLY HANDS:
Blessings: Seen
Blessings: Unseen
Blessings: Known
Blessings: Unknown
Blessings: Unexpected
Blessings: Unappreciated

Father, Thank You for My Blessings
Ever Falling, More and More!
Thank You for My Blessings
Which Reach To, and Beyond, The Golden Shore!
Thank You for My Blessings
Walking through My Life's Open Door!
Thank You, Lord, for My Blessings Received and
The Ones Which Are Held In Heaven's Store!
Oh, Lord, I Am Blessed!
I Love You, Father!
AMEN.

Words of Gratitude - Though Not Required - Bless The Hearer!
Let Us Bless God - Through Jesus Christ - TODAY!!
