Philippians 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Jesus Christ.

We take so much for granted these days. God in heaven has supplied our every need, and many times we fail to give thanks unto Him. He provides us with food to eat, a place to live, shoes on our feet, a loving family, and most important of all, He gave His only Son to die for our sins. We need to be more thankful for all the many blessings that we have been given. We need to give God all the praise and glory for everything that we have. Our Father in heaven made it possible for us to wake up this morning to see another day. Let us focus and reflect on the things that we have been given, not to take for granted all the many things that God has blessed us with. When we think that we have covered all areas, let us take a second look.
By watching the news this week, I realize how much I take for granted. In the after math of hurricane Ike, so many people are without a home, food,shelter, and many have lost loved ones. We need to pray for all the people that have lost their homes, the ones that have no electric or food. To keep all the many thousands that have been displaced by this horrible event. I know that God will take care of them, for He knows their need. He will place them where He has a need. But we need to remember them daily in our prayers. We take the simplest blessings for granted. Let us be more thankful and give God the praise and glory for everything that we have been given. Let us not take one moment for granted, let us tell the world of what God has done in our lives. How He has removed many mountains, and provided for our every need. Let us show our gratitude to our Father in heaven. To sing a song of praise, or just to witness to others by telling what God has done in our lives. Let us tell the lost that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Let us show love to others, as God has shown His love to us. Let us tell the world that Jesus lives today. That He died for all sinners and arose on the Third Day. That it is all because of Jesus that we are alive. Here is the definition of thankful.
Thankful- feeling or showing of gratitude, showing appreciation.

Being More Thankful

Father, I take so much for granted that You give
Like taking another breath, and getting to live

It is only because of You that I woke up today
Let me remember to thank You for this when I pray

Father, You provide our every need regardless of what we do
I fail to thank You properly, I want to say Father, Thank You

Thank You Father, for Your Holy Word that You provide
Thank You Father, for always remaining by my side

Thank You Father for the food,shelter, and love that You give
I want to always sing Your praise, as long as I may live

I want to thank You for Your protection during the storm
To thank You for loving me, before I was even born

Thank You for the love of my family and friends
Thank You for Your wonderful love that has no end

Thank You for Your only Son dying for our sins
Accepting His love is when life truly begins

Thank You for the morning sun, to see the beauty of a new day
Let us tell the world about Jesus as we go about life's way

Thank You for Your strength that carries me when I am weak
Thank You for answering my prayers for things that I may seek

Father, Thank You for all the many blessings that have been bestowed upon us
Forgive me for being ungrateful, and in You let me always place all of my trust

Let me be thankful and to You show my gratitude
Let me show my appreciation with a happy attitude

To sing a song of praise to You throughout the day
Thanking You for Your mercy and grace along the way

Father, I could never thank You enough for all that You have done
Glory to Your name forever, for giving Your only begotten Son

Father, Thank You for the love that You so freely show
I am truly thankful, this I hope You truly know
