Our God is Greater~ Chris Tomlin

This song is one of my all time favorite songs! I love to sing it and just focus on what it is saying. We sing it at church and it is so great to see my Sunday School Kids closing their eyes and lifting thier hands up to God and praising him! God has done so many amazing things for each of us and this song has become like our theme song at my church...it really stands for what God has done for us and that we are able to face this world with God. I am so greatful for this song and having learned it at school and having been able to bring it to my church! Thank you So much and I hope that you enjoy this song as much as I and others have and just really listen to the lyrics and worship God right now!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving~ one word which is mainly only used during this season/time of the year. One word but there is more than one way of looking at it.

Thanksgiving is a time when we gather together with those we love and we thank God for all that He has done for us throughout the year and throughout all our lives. But there is more than just saying a simple thank you. When you see someone who is not included or lonely...welcome them and help them. For Christ has told us whenever we help the least of these we help and honour Him, but when we ignore them we ignore Him and dishonour Him.

So I am very thankful for all that I have in my life and there are so many blessing that the list could go on and on- from small to huge things. I know though that I will show my thanks to all who are around me, not just by saying thank you to God for them, but by actually demonstrating to them my love and thankfulness for them.

Here in the land of the Free and 'One Nation Under God' where we say 'In God We Trust', I give thanks for a country in which this holiday is recognized. Because if it were not for God we would not have this country and this opportunity, nor would we have the people in our lives to show our love, thanks, and gratitude to.

So tomorrow as you gather around the Turkey thank God, but go a step further and actually take action to show your thanks to those in your life!

A prayer to the Lord!

         Lord I pray that you break my heart for what breaks yours!

         Lord Jesus though I am not perfect I am forgiven, I thank you for that and know that through you I would be nothing. I pray that you give me words of wisdom as I walk through life and a peace and understanding strait from you. I want to live my life as an example of your great love. Please God watch over those that you have brought into my life and help me to make a difference each and every day in someone else live whether it be big or small. Thank you God and I love you... watch over me this week and all my life, help me to stay in your love and mercy all the days of my life!
