Thank you Father that you are good, and that your mercy is everlasting. (Psalm 100:5).Thank you Lord that you are very compassionate and merciful. (James 5:11)
Thank you Father that every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from You, Father. (James 1:17).
Father, I thank you that your divine power has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness. (2 Peter 1:3).
I thank you God that you are for me, not against me. If you did not spare your own Son, but delivered Him up for me, I realize that you with also freely give me all things together with Your Son. (Romans 8:31,32).
I thank you Father that you give good things to those who ask You!
I thank you that you give the Holy Spirit to those who ask you! (Matthew 7:11; Luke 11:13).I thank you Father that I can ask, and I will receive.
Thank you Father that you will give me whatever I ask you in Jesus’ name! (Matthew 7:7; John 16:23)
“Thankfulness is not something God gives us.
It is not a spiritual gift and it is not a spiritual fruit.
We can receive God’s peace, joy and love,
but thankfulness is something that we give to God and to others.
It is a choice that we make.
Let us thank Him today with songs of celebration,
hearts of strong devotion and acts of admiration.”

. I don’t have a clue how he does it but I will ask him and get back to you. I actually hate editing so I really don’t know much about software like that but he does so I will ask.
I love that list of who I am in Christ. I sometimes forget some of them.

It’s a quiet Saturday morning here… foggy and raining. We are thinking of visiting some second hand stores later this morning. Our car is running again, but still needs some work. It’s nice to have our wheels again. I am grateful, and I know God has a plan for how we will pay for it!
Hope you have a great weekend!

Psa 103:1
Of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
Psa 103:3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
Psa 103:4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
Psa 103:5 who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psa 103:6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.
Psa 103:7 He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.
Psa 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
Psa 103:9 He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.
Psa 103:10 He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.
Psa 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
Psa 103:12 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
Psa 103:13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
Psa 103:14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
Psa 103:15 As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;
Psa 103:16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.
Psa 103:17 But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children,
Psa 103:18 to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.
Psa 103:19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
Psa 103:20 Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word!
Psa 103:21 Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will!
Psa 103:22 Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
I am thankful to God for you and your faithful prayers!
Love in Christ,
Kelly
