Happy Thanksgiving Again!
In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:6
Yesterday, we encouraged you to begin thinking about what you have to be thankful for, even if that list does not include a baby. We looked at things in the physical realm of our existence. Today, let’s look at the bountiful blessings God has poured on us in the spiritual realm.
I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20 God promises to never leave you—even in the midst of your struggle with infertility! Be thankful that God is there.
God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 God promises He’s your strength when you’re too weak to go on, and help for you in your trouble. Be thankful for a refuge and help.
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! 1 John 3:1 God loves us! He certainly didn’t have to, but chose to! How great is His love! Be thankful for God’s love.
Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 1:3 I’m so glad He gives me His grace, His mercy and His peace. I know I need it! Be thankful for grace, mercy and peace.
How about coming up with some more reasons to be thankful this Thanksgiving? The easy thing to do would be to let yourself get caught up again in your hurts and disappointments. Fight that urge to fall into a depression! Find things that you are thankful for, whether big things or small!
