Give Thanks

It is November, so Thanksgiving is on my mind. With that in mind, I present the following:

Psalm 118:1

118:1
O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because his mercy [endureth] for ever.

Although I often do not enjoy my job, Thank you that I have a job.
Thank you for wonderful days that have perfect weather, and places to sit outside and eat and enjoy the weather.
Thank you for my church, and a pastor that preaches the Word.
Thank you for my friends who mean a lot to me, even if i do not let them know near enough.
Thank you for never giving up on me, even if I give up on you.
Thank you for baseball.
Thank you for books.
Thank you for chocolate chip cookies.
Thank you for music.
Thank you for letting me learn that there is nothing more important in life than learning you will never leave me or forsake me.
Thank you for summer.
Thank you for winter, it makes me appreciate the summer even more.
Thank you for sports and people to play them with.
Thank you for answering prayers, and thank you for the prayers I am still waiting to be answered.
Thank you for online sermons and the access to hear the word at any time.
Thank you for rainy days.
Thank you for giving me the desire in my heart to be a godly man and one day lead a godly family in spite of the example that was set. Thank you for letting me know that is possible, because anything is possible through Christ.
Thank you for my nieces and nephews.
Thank you for a peace that passes understanding and can only come from knowing you.
Thank you that when I was ready to give up on my faith, the right people came along.
Thank you for Nehemiah 9, that is a great reminder of the faithful God, even if I am not faithful.

Thank you that Philipians reminds me that since you have started a good work in me, and since you started that work, you will not stop until it is complete.
Thank you for vacations.
Thank you for leaving the 99 and searching for the 1, for we are all the 1 at sometimes.
