"This morning I am so thankful.
Thankful for every person that I love and that I am loved by.
Thankful that I am forgiven and redeemed.
Thankful that for freedom I have been set free and nothing can cause me to be a slave ever again.
Thankful for a God who loves me and deeply desires a relationship with me.
Thankful for stories. Not just pointless stories but for stories that are a testament of my great big God.
Thankful for the pieces of my heart I was able to give away.
Thankful that I know Jesus fills those spots each and everyday.
Each heartache He heals.
He is holding those pieces along with the children that took them.
Thankful that I know my Jesus is holding their soft little hands.
Thankful that Jesus puts me in new positions everyday that make me trust Him more.
I am so thankful that I know He works all things together for His good.
I am thankful that He loves me.
Thankful that each day He makes me new.
Thankful that He is always with me.
He was with me before I acknowledged Him and He pulled me so close that first minute I asked Him too.
I am thankful that He will NEVER LET GO.
I am thankful that He was with me in Honduras. He was with me in Thailand. He was with me in South Africa.
I’m thankful that He brought me home.
I am thankful that He is here. HE is everywhere.
I am thankful for the hands that I have to praise Him, for the feet I have to walk wherever He leads.
I am thankful that it, this adventure we call life that Jesus is taking me on, is never going to end.
Its just gonna get better and better.
He died to give me life.
Thankful that He gives me life to the fullest. Everyday.
Thankful that my God only wants the best for me
Thankful that NO matter what…I can’t do anything, ever, to stop His love.
He loves me only because He loves me just because He loves me.
I am thankful that He keeps giving, filling me up, pouring out His love, and freeing me everyday.
I am thankful that I didn’t and couldn’t ever do anything to earn it.
I am thankful that I am HIS.
Jesus, I am yours.
Thank you that I am yours.
Thank you for dying for me..WOW..He did it for me."

And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.” Romans 8:28-30
