Why I thank God- fall 2011

Despite anything that is going on among us, we can always give thanks to God. The number one reason I am thankful is that I am forgiven and growing in my relationship with Jesus. I am saved daily from despair, depression, fatalism, loneliness and anger. I am going to heaven based on faith in Jesus’ shed blood on the cross. The kingdom of God is growing across the USA and the world. I have a small ministry and people whom I am disciplining. I have Christian friends and shepherds in my life who help me to grow spiritually.  I have a ministry among the healthcare workers in the local hospital.  Our family has a singing ministry. On a more practical level, I have my health (despite a few glitches). I am basically pain free. I have a clear life testimony in Jesus.  I have 5 wonderful kids who are healthy, have faith, are good in school, trustworthy and respected among their peers, are gospel co-workers, who love me. I have a wonderful wife and an intact marriage. My parents love me. My sister respects me. I have friends from my high school days. I have the respect of my peers and “have a place in the city gate.”  I have a job that gives good returns and benefits. A job that is clean, healthy and close to home. (4 minutes away.)  I can retire when I am 70. (at least I can retire). I have a stable home with internet access. I got out of credit card debt. I live in a quiet, safe, wooded neighborhood. I have a nice park close by to walk my dog. I have a free gym. My life is so blessed. It is like God has poured his blessings upon me. Who am I and who is my family that I should be such a blessed man! It is only because of Jesus Christ and his Gospel that saves me from my sins daily and gives me clear life direction. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. Praise the Lord.
