Thankfulness


Thankfulness opens windows of heaven through which blessings fall.

"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
      That there may be food in My house,
      And try Me now in this,”
      Says the LORD of hosts,

      “ If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
      And pour out for you
such blessing
      That
there will not be room enough to receive it."
Malachi 3:10 
 
Tithing is just one of the ways I can show 
my thanks to my Heavenly Father.
I can tithe my money, possessions, time, and talents.
 
Counting my blessings is another way to give thanks to God.
I have found that I can always find something for which to be grateful.
 
A smile, the laughter of children, a friend's hug,
a good cup of coffee, a warm house on a cold day,
my family, a job I enjoy, a butterfly, 
a clear night when I can see the stars,
and most of all, my Best Friend.
 
Life IS in the little things.
And little IS much when God is in it.
 
  "...giving thanks always for all things to God the Father 
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ..."
 
Amen!
