Thank You, Lord -- Looking Around

Thank You, Lord – Looking Around

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Yesterday I shared this prayer from Charles Swindoll’s book, The Finishing Touch (Word Books). Today he writes:

Looking Around … thank You, Lord
            for our wonderful country, so blessed, so unique
            for close family ties, so affirming, so enjoyable
            for teachers, mentors, and personal heroes who spur us on
            for an opportunity to be of help and encouragement to others
            for the embrace of a friend who really cares
            for the joy of seeing our children and grandchildren grow and learn
            for an occupation that enables us to make a living
            for a place to live, clothes to wear, and food to eat

Thank You, Lord, so such incredible abundance. By just looking around, we are made aware of how rich we really are.

I want to encourage you to take some time today to look around and thank the Lord for how He has blessed you. Tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, we’ll look at “Looking Within.” – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick
