“And we know that God
causes everything to work together for the good
of those who love God and are called
according to his purpose for them.”

Thankfulness: Day 25
Today, I’m thankful for music. I started singing at my church by copying others. Later, I participated in chorus, choir, band, and piano. I admit I was never outstanding in any of these, but I learned to appreciate music, understand reading music, and developed a love for music of various types. The original, and still my favorite, is church music like I learned as a child. God is still working through lots of people who continue to write and perform songs that carry a message that touches my heart and life. I’m so thankful for music and all it has taught me about God. Sometimes, as I teach my Sunday School class, I pause and ask what hymns they can relate to those verses. We all usually come up with the same songs! They are the ones you would think of too!
Throughout this wonderful holiday, take time to make a mental, or paper, list of your own thankfulness. You will be blessed by taking the time to do so.
