Let’s pray together today:
Father God, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, we thank You for all of Your creation, from the heavens to the earth we live in; we thank You for the sun, the moon, and the stars. We thank you for the mountains, the valleys, the rivers, the meadows, the canyons, and the falls. We thank You for all of the beauty around us. We thank You for this earth’s bounty, for apple trees, grape vines, tomatoes/squash/corn fields; the bounty we have access to is unfathomable. Father God, we thank You for our families, friends, new life, and little children with the innocence they possess. We thank You for giving your Son, Jesus Christ, and for redemption and restored relationship with You through Him. We thank you for the assurance of eternal life through Jesus Christ. We know this prayer is inadequate to give You thanks, honour, glory and praise, but we humbly lift it to you today. May we continue to be thankful in all circumstances in our lives, realizing that Your goodness far exceeds what we can even imagine. Father God, we Thank You.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray this, Amen.
In Christ,
Lou-Anne

Thankful
Lyrics
One, for each blessed day
Two, every breath I take
Three, for my family
Four, all they mean to me
Five, just to be alive
Six, for the earth and sky
And seven for heaven
For every good thing that I have comes from God
Every day, every hour
There are blessings He sends without number or end
If I counted a hundred or a thousand, I’m sure
There would still be more to be thankful for
Eight, for the chance to grow
Nine, heart and hands and soul
Ten, for the eyes to see
All God has given me
I could go on and on
Counting the whole day long
I know He is with me
For every good thing that I have comes from God
Every day, every hour
There are blessings He sends without number or end
If I counted a hundred or a thousand, I’m sure
There would still be more
There would still be more
And more to be thankful for

May we grow together in the love of Christ to reflect upon the mercies and blessings upon our lives, to feel the presence of God’s living Holy Spirit through worship to sing, pray, laugh, dance, cry, but mostly to praise our Lord and Father as we were indeed created2praise.
