Psalm 145:15-16 (ESV)
15 The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them
their food in due season.
16 You open your hand;
you satisfy the
desire of every living thing.
A personal note of thanks:
Heavenly Father, I just wanted to say thank you for ice cream. It’s so good!
It’s cold! It’s tasty! In all honesty, Lord, I want to say thank you, not just
for the ice cream but for all the good things you give me. So often I forget to
do so. You are so generous, and I often fail to give thanks. Thank you, God.
God, You don’t just care for us, You care for everyone. You
love everyone and everything, even the creatures of this world that are a
distant thought to us. Without You, Your creation would not make it. We would
not survive. But there You are, taking care of all people, all creatures, and
all creation. Thank You!
And you’re more than just there—your hand is open, and your
blessings overflow. You give the squirrels their nuts, the birds their worms,
and the mighty lion his food. Then there is us. We are just a speck of sand on
this earth. But we have Your attention! We have Your love! And You take care of
all our needs. Thank you!
As we sit here and think, we can’t help but remember that You
not only give, but give so generously. Our closet, our home, and our hearts are
full of Your blessings. You have blessed us with so much variety and
continually give us more than what we need to get by. You give us our life and
breath, our time and talents. You give us our loved ones, our friends, and so
much more. We are so blessed! Thank you!
We especially thank You, Lord, for the gift of Jesus, our
Savior. In him, we have the joy and confidence of knowing that even when our
earthly strength fails or tragedy hits, no matter our age,we have eternal life.
Dear Lord, You created the world and continue to care for
it even though it is filled and tainted with sin. Thank You! Help us all to
turn our eyes to You as the animals do and give thanks to You for all your many
blessings. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
