Since Thanksgiving is less than a month away, TJ and I decided to do 30 days of the things that we are most thankful for. We will see if we manage to do a post a day! So here it goes...
Today is Day 1 of our 30 days. I (Gina) am most thankful for my relationship with Jesus Christ. At church yesterday, we had the Lord's Supper. Bro. Jack's message pertained to the meaning of the supper and how to prepare for it. Wow, how many times have I not been in the right place to fully observe the Lord's Supper? Anyway, I am so thankful that I am the daughter of a loving Father. He loves and cares for us even when we are selfish and needing children. He loves us when we turn our backs on Him because we think that we know better. He loves us when we vent our anger and frustration on Him. He loves us when it is hard and no one else wants to be around us. We sing that song "Amazing Love" all the time. I catch myself singing it as I clean or drive down the road. But how have we managed to lose the meaning in that song? Those words are so meaningful and don't deserve to just be sang or spoken lightly. With everything that TJ and I have been through, I often feel like a whiny kid when I pray and forget how truly blessed I really am. I am so thankful that my Heavenly Father, loved me enough to sacrifice His only Son on a cross for my sins. He did this so that when I do act like a whiny brat, my sins are forgiven! My goal is to remember His sacrifice and thank Him every day for the ability to have such a close relationship with Him.
