Memory Verse: Jesus, I surrender my life to You in Thanksgiving.

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

The holidays are quickly upon us.  As I ponder the Thanksgiving Holiday, and all of the cooking that I’m doing for my family….I count my blessings.  

Right now, my Fancy Teapot is filled with Constant Comment Hot Tea, with Stevia. Got a blueberry scone to top it off.

ABBA, my greatest gifts, for which to be thankful, are the following:

*I know You, ABBA, as my Father who loves me.  Here was my mental image of you as a child, due to legalism: you were a mean Dude with a cattle prod, who was ready to zap me, if I forgot to confess a sin.

How blessed I was to finally,”Get It,” and realize that it was your Amazing Grace, that made me righteous.

*My relationship with Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior guarantees eternity,.

*Matt 11:28 Come to me all you who are burdened and weary, and I will give you rest.

It is supernatural; whenever there is upheaval, illness, death, or trauma, the peace of Christ carries me.  These past three years have been a very stressful time for our family….BUT YOU ARE A BIG GOD….ALL IS WELL!

*My beloved family: Farmer,3 sons, beautiful daughter-in-law and twin grandsons; strong, courageous, compassionate, and deep in their Christian Faith; what a gift they are to me.  LOLOL As leaders of their football team, at the end of every game, our twin grandsons, gather their team mates and recite The Lord’s Prayer.  Gramma Farm’s tears flow each time.

*That I was born an American.  Even though Satan thinks that he is shredding our nation, there is that strong, Christian remnant, that is guided by The Holy Spirit.

*FREEDOM…. MAY IT NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY FROM US, AS THE LEFT AGENDA WANTS TO DO!

*That I was raised to be a “Go Getter-Becomer”

*That food, shelter, education,  and religious freedom were all available to me.

* I am arrayed in a robe of righteousness.  WHO ME???

As the harvest and the season of fall are full of color, You, ABBA, have colored my world with so many blessings.

How blessed I was to earn an Elementary Degree in education, my Masters Degree, plus I started off my career as an Elementary Art Teacher!

ABBA, you have blessed me with the gift of wisdom May I use it in a very substantial way to enhance the lives of others. Praise You ABBA…. For being the “Daddy who loves me.”

MY CHILD: The greatest gift of Thanksgiving, is to bless others.

Give to a charity. Help serve a Thanksgiving meal to the homeless. Become a mentor to young students,  and young mothers, who are overwhelmed. Find a spot in your heart to give to the needy.  Find time to become a one on one mentor.  God often cozies me up with a woman who is suffering from postpartum, or dealing with overwhelming anxieties.

St Francis proclaimed the following:  Lord make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred, let me sow love….it is in giving that we receive…it is in dying, that we are born into eternal life.

I love you.

Your,

ABBA, Father

Isaiah 61:10 I delight greatly in The Lord; my soul rejoices in God my Savior. For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,  as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Psalm 95:2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.

Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with Thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. 

Phil 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
