Thankfulness

Recently we have really been challenge by the Lord on being more thankful for everything that the He has given us. Not things that we have earned or bought but what the Lord has allowed us to purchase and take care of.

We know it is a tough concept to wrap our heads around that everything we have is from the Lord. We have worked for it, right? Yes but our working is for the Lord, isn't it? Honestly in our case it is not the case all of the time.

We are realizing that how can the Lord trust us in his work overseas if we cannot have the character back home here in the states at our jobs.

Deuteronomy 10:14

14 To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.

1 Corinthians 10:26
26for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."

1 Corinthians 10:26
26for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."

Colossians 3:23-24

23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Continue to pray for us on the recent lessons learned about being thankful. We need to be more thankful for our jobs here in the States before he can entrust us in his work overseas. Also that we can be more thankful for ALL that the Lord has entrusted to our possession especially the little life that we will meet in no time. Not to take the Lord for granted in every little thing that we do and have.
