GOD first...Heavenly Father, there is so much to be thankful for and we sometimes think that our mere gratitude in prayers are insignificant. We know You hear our prayers of thankifulness as evidence of Your Amazing Grace as we pray in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Your presence in our lives and those around us reassures our hope of promises to come. Thank You Lord for each day as we look forward to the many blessings, known and unknown, we experience along the way. Amen.
