So much to thank Jesus for!

With Thanksgiving, I have been thinking in a special way of the things we have to be grateful for... and there is SO MUCH we have to be thankful for in Jesus!

Psalm 136 has been a special passage - Here are a few excerpts:

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
to him who alone does great wonders,
for his steadfast love endures forever...
It is he who remembered us in our low estate,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
and rescued us from our foes,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
he who gives food to all flesh,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven,
for his steadfast love endures forever."

This verse from the hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness" sums up how I feel:

"Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!"

May you be blessed as you thank Jesus for all that He is and all that He has done!
