With a Thankful Heart There are many things in which to give thanks Of those things, the bible highly ranks It tells of God creating the earth, animals, and man It teaches us all about His marvelous plan God knew the first Adam would ultimately sin The sin nature would pass down to each from him God gave a promise of sending to earth one to pay the price so victory over sin could be won At God’s appointed time, a baby boy was born delivered in a stable with no conveniences to adorn His Mother, sweet Mary, must have smiled as she gazed down at the face of God’s holy child This child grew up and became a man It would soon be time to fulfill God’s plan He came to earth to pay for our sin He died so new life for us could begin He allowed Himself to be placed on a tree He knew it would take that for you and me His precious blood drops to the ground did fall To His Heavenly Father He did call As He hung there, He said, “It is finished” and died His friend, John, stood with Mary as she cried His body was removed, and then placed in a tomb Had Mary realized, for this, He had been groomed On the third day women came to the grave Jesus’s body was not where He’d been laid He had risen, His task was complete He showed His disciples nail scarred hands and feet His death caused the battle over sin to be won You and I can have new life by believing in the Son Confess to Him all the ugliness of your sin Trust Him for salvation; new life for you will begin Lift your voice in thanksgiving for His grace Bow humbly before Him and seek His face Rejoice in the fact His spilt blood has set you free His face in heaven will be the first you will see Written by, Wanda L Reu 11/13/01 |

Your thankful heart reminds us how blessed we are to know the gospel and the freedom so graciously bestowed upon us, in such a pleasing way. Thank you, Rae |

Rae; We have been truly blessed. I have a friend who recently returned from Ukraine. People there feel blessed if they have only part of a bible. When they receive a bible, it gives them such joy. We are so privileged here to have easy assessibility to God's Word. May we never take that for granted. Wanda |
