This past week, many of us received something we asked for—a substantial rain. We have prayed regularly that God would send the rain. Are you thankful for it? If so, have you told God this? Just as we should be thankful for the gifts that people have given us, we should be thankful for the gifts that God has given us. We should also be thankful for the fact that God loves us enough to give us anything. We don’t deserve anything, yet he continually makes sure we are provided for.
I encourage you to take some time this week to be intentionally thankful, not only for the rain, but for the other blessings in your life. It’s so easy to begin to take things and even God for granted, so we have to be constantly intentional about offering thanks, and if we only take the time to look, we’ll never run out of reasons to thank Him!
