The Thankfulness Train Day 30. On this our last day on this “Train of Thankfulness” I thank God that I KNOW Him. Not just know about Him, but KNOW Him. There was a time in my life when I played all the “church” games. I was raised in the church, knew all the things to say and things to do (or appear to do). Yet one day Jesus came knocking at the door of my heart and clearly spoke to me “you don’t belong to me!!!”. Oh yes, Lord— I am a member of the church, been baptized, walked and aisle (so many time I had lost count), I teach, I sing, I play…….on and on the list went, and all of it based on “I”. Yet each time HE said “but you don’t belong to me”. After a long day of struggle and wrestling in my heart and soul, I fell on my face and repented of my sin—yes MY sin. The ugly, rebellious, self-willed hypocrite finally had to look Jesus face to face and see MY sin and HIS loving sacrifice. I called out to Jesus to save me as I had obviously not saved myself nor had any of the so-called works I had done. He gloriously and marvelously changed this heart of mine and delivered me from myself into His wonderful grace. Praise you Jesus—for saving me. Won’t you be sure today—to whom do you belong? His blood cleanse from all sin. He’s still here for YOU.
Blanche, for some reason I don’t have a copy of Thanksgiving Train Day 27. Is it possible for you to send it to me. I usually make a copy of your posts.

The Thankfulness Train Day 27. I am thankful for this time of year, to have the opportunity to help ourselves and others look more intently at our attitude. As I said earlier this month we can be “Humbly grateful, or grumbly hateful”. It’s nice to see so many taking part in giving God thanks. To truly “Praise God, from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him, all creatures, here below. Praise Him, above ye heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen” I find it sad that we’ve outgrown the doxology in so many churches. It’s such a simple but profound song to remind us to thank and praise our God for all HIS blessings on us every moment of every day.
