Thankful Thursday ~ Basics

“I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.”
~ Psalm 57:9 (ESV)

I know that I talked about the ‘little’ things in life last week, but this morning I was once again reminded how truly blessed I am. I have the ‘basics’ of life. People in Alaska along the Yukon River, are not this blessed. They don’t have heat in this super-cold winter; some even ran out of food because the winter supply was not enough. I am grateful that something is done about it by Samaritan’s Purse International.

  • Lord, thank You for allowing me to be a child of Yours…That is the most precious gift I have in my life…
  • Lord, thank You for the daily bread. Not only do You meet my physical need for nourishment, but also my spiritual need…
  • Lord, thank You for the roof over my head. I am comfortable on a daily basis. If I need to cool off, I can turn on our cooler…
  • Lord, thank You for running water. I am so glad that I do not have to rely on going to a well; or don’t have water at all…
  • Lord, thank You for the clothes on my back. Even though I whine to do laundry, I am glad that I do have the clothes in the hamper or closet…
  • Lord, thank You for my beloved. Without him in my life, life would be very boring…

What are you thankful for this week. Please do share with us in leaving your link below. Please, please, do not link if you are not participating in Thankful Thursday. I really am trying to be nice about this request…I don’t like to remove links…Thank you from the bottom of heart…

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: even though our basic needs are met daily, don’t take them for granted.

Be blessed today and always…
