In Everything give thanks.....

Thanksgiving Day, 2005, My 54th and each year I am more thankful than the one prior. I am so very thankful to GOD, for His many blessings. This has been a very difficult year in many respects, but I have not once doubted the love of GOD, nor His ability to work it all out for good. God has restored my sister and her family to me, after a very long separation... What JOY! Today was wonderful, lots of family, food (Mega Food) laughter, games, fun...... Rejoicing. Oh and let us not forget dessert!
Our family lost 2 loved ones this year, and nearly lost another 2. We are enduring pain, fears, dissappointments and severe depression... but GOD is good, His love fails not, His mercies indeed are unending, new and available every single morning... I am thankful indeed. I look forward, not behind, in full assurance that He who has called us is able to perfect that which concerns us. I love God, for He first loved me.... Love hopes all things, love never fails, it shall remain, when all the things of this life are just a memory...
I am looking forward to a new year and all that it will no doubt offer and bring forth, and indeed another Thanksgiving Day, where we will gather with our loved ones and thank God together, for all His many blessings, His provision, protection and faithful love.
To GOD, Father, Son and Holy Spirit be all glory, honor, praise & thanksgiving, now and forever, amen.
