Thankful for the Giver
Thursday, December 4, 2008 This holiday season caught me by suprise. The heart full of joy and gratefulness came just a few days after Thanksgiving. This morning I was reading in the book of 1 John, Chapter 4. Verses 9 & 10 really meant a lot to me: "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." I am so very grateful for Jesus, my Savior. Let's tell as many people as we can about the amazing GIVER - especially as we approach and celebrate the event of His Son's birth! - Julie
"Thank You Lord"
I’m thankful, Lord, for many things,
But this Thanksgiving day
I’m dedicating to the praise
Of only You, I pray.
Aside from blessings temporal,
Apart from gifts so kind,
I’m thankful for the Giver more
Than all the gifts combined.
I’m thankful, Lord, for who You are,
For Your great love divine
That stooped one day at Calvary’s cross
And saved a soul like mine.
I’m grateful for the years gone by
In which, with guiding hand,
You have with utmost wisdom led,
All by a perfect plan.
I’m thankful, Lord, for many things,
Apart from gifts so kind,
I’m thankful for the Giver more
Than all the gifts combined.”
