Thankfulness – Day 2

I’m so thankful that God use me despite all my weaknesses and “warts”.  I have opportunities to be a witness for Him, just like all of you do.  He use me to do things like talk,  smile, visit, pray, encourage, share, and call.  I thank God for these opportunities and pray He will guide me in using what He has given me in ways He would approve of.  My opportunities do not speak about me, but Him!

November is a special month to count our blessings.  

Day 1 – I’m so thankful I have God to take my daily burdens.  He lightens my load and gives me a new perspective when I give my burdens to Him.  There are times when my burdens could destroy my attitude and my relationship with God and with people, but He carries my burdens and improves my outlook.  What a friend He is!
