A Thankful Thanksgiving


We have much to be thankful for this year. As always the Lord has blessed our family and our home. He has provided far beyond what we need with additional gifts and blessings. In particular is the blessing he has given us in a new grandson. He has also blessed our grandson with remarkable health.

As mentioned in previous posts, our grandson was born prematurely at 29 weeks. He has quickly overcome many health hurdles over the past, almost three weeks. The doctors and nurses say how amazed they are at how well he is doing. We attribute this to the blessings from our Lord. As mentioned before we have family and friends around the world praying for our little guy, and although the doctors and nurses are truly amazed, we know that our Lord has the great power to heal and he is doing that for our grandson.

Beyond the power to heal is the gift of salivation our Lord has given us. Sometimes the cares of this world will distract me from remembering his great sacrifice and the blessing of salvation, which is above all else, the greatest blessing of all.

At this time of year when we are counting the many blessings he has given us, let’s not forget the greatest one of all. He died for our sins that we may be made acceptable to God and when this journey we care currently on is complete, will be allowed to join him in heaven.

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57
