With my simple words I say
I’m thankful for another day
I hope you woke up this morning thankful for another day. I did. And no matter what your circumstances are, you have many reasons to be thankful. Not the least of which is another day of life. Another day to recognize (or discover) how much your Creator loves you. And guess what? You didn’t earn that love. Someone else did.
I’m thankful for another day to be able to share God’s love.
Most of the world doesn’t want to hear people like me talk about God. After all, it’s us pesky Christians who keep talking about “one way” to Heaven. We’re so judgmental. So narrow-minded. And we’ve got all these rules and regulations to follow in order to join our “exclusive club”.
But here’s the truth about those “rules and regulations”. There’s only one rule you need to follow in order to be included in Heaven. Believe and trust in Jesus. That’s it. You should follow the Ten Commandments. But even if you don’t, and yet you still believe and trust in Jesus, you can live forever with Him. Does that sound like a lot of rules and regulations to you?
When you dip your toes into the Word of God (the Bible) and discover what it actually says, you’ll be amazed at the depth of God’s love. There’s no bottom or end to His love. And you haven’t lived a life worthy of that love. Only one person ever lived a life worthy of that love. Jesus. And He loved you so much (in spite of all the ways you’ve hurt yourself and others) He became a man and died for you. And me.
Like I said…do yourself a favor and take a sneak peek into God’s Word. Don’t take the word of anyone else. I don’t care how much they appear to be righteous. Don’t take their word for it. And don’t take my word for it. It’s only God’s word that counts. Open your heart and soak it in. Start today. Then, maybe you’ll say you’re thankful for another day, too.
I’m Thankful For
A wonder-filled life,
A beautiful wife,
And for another day.
A musical brain,
And each new refrain,
And for another day.
A sky full of birds,
A page full of words,
And for another day.
A mountain to climb,
A line I can rhyme,
And for another day.
A friend I can trust,
A healthy pie crust,
And for another day.
A breath I can take,
A pardoned mistake,
And for another day.
A life I can live,
And the One who can give
Me another day.
