• Jeremiah 33:3: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know". This verse emphasizes that God is available and wants to communicate with you.

This is one of my favorite verses:   I call it GODS telephone line

Today, I am thankful not to have to be outside it is 37 feels like 20 burr.    I am also thankful that I finished my thankful month, yes I got behind but I got it done.

• Titus 2:14: Jesus "gave Himself for us"—not only to redeem us, but to form us into a "people zealous for good works".

Today I am thankful for HEAT, this morning it was 57 by time I went to town to get propane and groceries the temp had dropped 15* in an hour and half.  The heat sure felt nice, first time this year of having to turn it on.

Friday 112825

• Isaiah 1:18: "Come now, & let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool".

Today I am thankful for the time spent with my family on Thanksgiving day.   I love how the LORD has been working with all of us.   Four years ago, my sister n law and I couldn't hardly stand each other, we sat at the hospital the day my mom passed and worked out our differences.   Fast forward to now, my brother and Sis n Law has both found the LORD and we are all what family should be now, friends not enemies

What are you thankful for?

How has God worked in your families lives?
