Thankfulness

[MJ Ferruzza]

From Darrell

Scripture: Colossians 2:7

”Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness” NLT



I am thankful for:



The partner who hogs the covers every night, BECAUSE she is not out with someone else.



The teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching TV, BECAUSE that means she is at home and not on the streets.



For the taxes I pay,

BECAUSE it means that I am employed.



For the mess to clean after a party,

BECAUSE it means that I have been surrounded by friends.



For the clothes that fit a little too snug, BECAUSE it means I have enough to eat.



For my shadow that watches me work,

BECAUSE it means I am in the sunshine.



For mowing the lawn, cleaning the windows and fixing the gutters, BECAUSE it means I have a home.



For all the whining I hear about politicians, BECAUSE it means that we have freedom of speech.



For the parking spot at the end of the parking lot, I’m blessed with a car For a huge heating bill, BECAUSE it means I am warm.



For the lady behind me in church that sings off key, BECAUSE it means that I can hear.



For large piles of laundry and ironing,

BECAUSE it means we have clothes to wear.



For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, BECAUSE it means I have been capable of working hard.



For the alarm that goes off early in the morning, BECAUSE it means that I am alive.



For the Lord Jesus Christ dying for my sins, BECAUSE it means I will have eternal life



Prayer: Father, help me to leave the negative behind and concentrate on the positive. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
