Thank You Lord for teaching me this as a little child.  What a tremendous gift that knowledge has been throughout my whole lifetime.  Thank You for the blessing of giving me a wonderful, Godly mother that instilled in me as a child how my life could be lived with You in control.  Your way would be the best way for my life, she would say, so don’t miss it….she taught me to listen to You and obey.  Thank You for helping me through the bumps in the road.  Thank You for assuring me You would ALWAYS be with me and never give me more than You and I could go through.  I love You Lord and thank and praise You for ALWAYS being with me.  Thank You for the assurance that I WILL spend all eternity with You.

And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.  Hebrews 13:16

Thank You Lord for the wonderful feeling we receive when we are a blessing to someone else.  Thank You that You are also pleased by our actions.  You remind us in this verse that often our ‘doing good and sharing can be a sacrifice.’  For many of us our lives are packed full of many wonderful things that bring joy to our hearts and are pleasing to You …..and we thank You for each one of them.  Thank You for helping us listen to Your still small voice when You call us to help someone in the middle of our busy day.  The blessing is ours when we give and we thank You.  Thank You for the joy that will be ours today when we listen to You and obey. 

Thank You Lord.

Amen
