Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. For the king trusts in the Lord; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken. – Psalm 21:6-7

Dear God, we echo King David’s sentiments. Surely You have granted us blessings and made us glad with the joy of Your presence. We trust in You. Through Your unfailing love, we will not be shaken. We are thankful for You, Lord, and Your presence in our lives. In Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.

I’m thankful for the joy of God’s presence.

I’m also thankful for my grandparents. My grandfathers passed away when I was young, so I didn’t know them well. However, I’m thankful my grandmothers lived into their early nineties. And one of my grandmothers would have celebrated her birthday on Thanksgiving. I miss them, but I am also thankful that our relationship with Jesus means we will see our saved loved ones again.

And I am thankful for Christmas lights and decorations because they bring a bit of joy to our days.

What are you thankful for?

    • Thank you for pointing those things out. There are many people out there who do not have those things. May we remember that we really do have so much to be thankful for. 🙏

  1. There is great joy in the presence of our Lord! I am thankful that He is always with us. My cousin and his wife stopped by last night. It was really nice to sit and talk with them for a couple of hours.

  2. Love the verse Bridget. I am so thankful that we will not be shaken through the unfailing love of the Lord.
    I am grateful to be able to spend some time with family all sitting together and watching a Christmas movie last night. Simple but very enjoyable.

  3. I echo you in thankfulness for grandparents. I still have one grandmother living and she’s a joy to visit with. Lots of changes over the past few years with her health and having to sell her home to move into a nursing home but she’s adjusted well and still has her quirky sense of humor!!❤️
