Thankful Thursday

Today I will finish up Thankful Thursdays.  I have really needed this time to focus on what I am truly thankful for.  God has been so gracious to us this year even through the very tough times.  We are overwhelmed to see Him working out His perfect plan.

Even this week as we were worried about my dad and his tumor markers, God showed Himself to be faithful once again with numbers that were even lower than ever.  So much to be thankful for!!

I am learning that thankfulness is not about the circumstances around me but about the knowledge that I have been blessed beyond measure through Christ.  I am a sinner who stands condemned but through the grace of God I have the righteousness of Jesus.  So today as we celebrate the day set aside to give thanks, I do so with a heart that fully thankful.
