Gratitude and Thanksgiving: Easter 2006

Original Date Written: April 12, 2008 Easter Week

As I write this, I my heart is full of love. What blessings I have all around me. As I look into my daughter's eyes and see her spririt sparkle, what a blessing I have to see her grow up here with me at work, not having to sacrifice our time together for a few extra bucks. To my employers(my parents) I am eternally grateful. As I lean back in my chair I get a view of my handsome and loving husband, busily grinding away to make a living, no- a life, for his family and at the same time help our family business be a sucessful one. Now that is a blessing too. But as I bow my head in a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord Almightly and I look forward to Sunday morning--Easter, I STAND in awe of Him, His sacrifice, His obiedience to His father, His selflessness, His amazing love He defines, and the life He laid down for me, My King shead his precious blood so that I may have hope, that blessed assurance that the Hymn echoes in my mind, no greater love. Thank you Lord for what you have done for me, for those you have chosen, not because of who I am or what I have done, but actually in spite of it! Praise Him for He is worthy to be praised!
