Thankful Thursday

Click here to see what others are thankful for today.


Dear God,

Thank You. Thank you for being You; my great and awesome God. You’re amazing.

Thank You for my family. Before I was born, You knew me. You knew just what I needed in a family. You knew I needed supportive parents, a sister I can always talk to, and a brother who is always around when I want to hang out. You knew what annoys me about my family now will help me deal with people in the future.

Thank You.

Thank You for supplying me with my needs: a house, a bed, food, a car; even the little things I so often take for granted, like my computer or TV. Thank You for safety, thank You for health.

Thank You for life.

Thank You for rain, for sunshine. Thank You for the good times in life and thank You for the times I think are bad. Help me see that the outcome is always for the better.

Thank You, Jesus.

Thank You for allowing me to be homeschooled. Before I even knew I liked to write, You knew that being homeschooled would allow me to make time for my writing. Writing is my favorite form of worship. May this wonderful gift you’ve given me always bring glory to You.

Thank You, Lord.

I love You.

Always Yours, Sarah


There is so much to be thankful for, no matter what kind of situation you’re in. What can you thank God for today?

    I absolutely love this, Sarah. It's SO easy to take for granted our everyday blessings. My prayer is that I will always cultivate a thankful heart, and never overlook God's many blessings.
