Thankful...

Today
was
long,
busy,
yet
wonderful!
I have an overwhelming sense of gratitude.

I am sitting in a comfy chair in front of a computer in a house filled with the people I love the most.


I am confident that in the morning I will awake to the smell of coffee and I have no fear that there will be food available to feed my family.

Tomorrow we will have the opportunity to go anywhere we please and do pretty much anything we want.

Yet there are times I yearn for more.
What more do I need?


God has already given me everything.

LIFE in HIM is all I need.

If all the things and people I value and love the most were gone tomorrow,

would I still love God?

God would still be God.

He would still be

GREAT

and

MIGHTY!

Even if...
I had no home,
no family,
no food.

Even if I had
NOTHING.


I would still have eternal hope.
God would still be Good!


But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.


2 Corinthians 4:7
