The morning an hour before sunrise
The sunrise and the anticipation of a new day
The aroma of coffee and the warmth a cup brings
The stillness of the early morning
I AM THANKFUL FOR
A time of prayer and meditation
The presence of God in the living of life
The revelation of God through His Word
God coming to this earth in Jesus Christ
I AM THANKFUL FOR
A courteous driver
A kind word spoken
A gentle touch
The blessing of being greeted by a friend
I AM THANKFUL FOR
People who share the gift of encouragement
For a book filled with information and encouragement
For a conversation that challenges the mind and encourages the spirit
For teachers who view their vocation as a calling
I AM THANKFUL FOR
The feeling after a hard work-out
The words of a physician, "Just keep on doing what you are doing."
A prescription that has declined in price
A physician who combines professionalism with compassion
I AM THANKFUL FOR
The gift of a wonderful family
For an uninterrupted day with family
A wife and daughter who celebrate the presence of each other
A grandson whose discipline and determination inspire many
I AM THANKFUL FOR
A generous brother who is always helping the least of these
A gracious sister who challenges me to never forget my roots
The blessing of growing up in a small town
The precious memories of family and friends who are now with the Lord
I AM THANKFUL FOR
The churches I have been privileged to serve as Pastor
A special church known as Providence Baptist
A church that communicates "It's not about us It's all about Him." (JESUS CHRIST)
Each member of Providence and the love they have for God and their neighbor
I AM THANKFUL FOR
The blessing of giving THANKS.
Hope
Peace
Love
