Thanksgiving

"In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving." Philippians 4:6

Our Father, we give thanks to Thee for all the blessings that come to us during all the days of the year. We thank Thee for the joys that brighten our lives and the sorrows that brighten our lives and the sorrows that discipline our spirits. We thank Thee for the friends who have helped us bear the burdens of life and whose faith in us has spurred us on harder efforts and higher purpose. We thank Thee for the kindly Ministries of the church and for opportunities of service to others that he church offers. And we thank Thee most of all Jesus, our Master and Lord, whose gentle Spirit has led captive our rebellious spirits and whose gospel is a strong hope for time and eternity. In His name. Amen.
