LIVING WITH A GRATEFUL HEART

LIVING WITH A GRATEFUL HEART


God GIVES us many things
In life=a LOVING FAMILY=
Health=a job=and even
Our very OWN LIVES


The LEAST we can do
Is to REMEMBER to be honest and
SINCERE with him=and
At all times=remember
TO BE THANKFUL


“In PRAYING=
Do NOT babble like the pagans=
Who think that


They will be HEARD
Because of their many WORDS” Matthew 6:7


It doesn't take a
Lot of words
To be HEARD by God


It just takes an honest=
Sincere=and GRATEFUL HEART


A 13^th century German
Theologian said:
“If the ONLY prayer
We ever say is 'THANK YOU'
It will be enough” (Meister Eckhart)


Living with a GRATEFUL HEART
LIVING WITH A THANKFUL HEART


“Let the peace of CHRIST
RULE in your heart


Since as members
Of one body
You were called
To PEACE


And BE THANKFUL” Colossians 3:15


“Devote yourselves to PRAYER=
Being watchful and THANKFUL” Colossians 4:2


“Therefore=since
We are RECEIVING a kingdom
That CANNOT be shaken


Let us be THANKFUL
And so worship God


Acceptably with reverence and awe
For our 'GOD
Is a consuming fire '” Hebrews 12:28-29


Jesus=in the OUR FATHER
Reminds us that God's name
Is HALLOWED


To ask for FORGIVENESS
And to be FREE of temptation
While asking the Father
To DELIVER us from evil


FUNNY=he doesn't
Mention THANKSGIVING


Maybe Jesus figured
We would have SENSE ENOUGH
To remember to be FULL
OF THANKSGIVING on our own


LIVING WITH A GRATEFUL HEART!


“If I take part
In a meal
With THANKSGIVING


Why am I denounced
Because of something
I thank God for?” 1 Corinthians 10:30


“So=then
Just as you received Christ Jesus
As Lord


CONTINUE to live your lives
In him
ROOTED and built up
In him


STRENGTHENED in the FAITH
As you were taught
And overflowing with THANKFULNESS” Colossians 2:6-7


Dear good=merciful=and FORGIVING GOD
You SUPPLY our every need
Please help us ALWAYS


To live with
A joyful and GRATEFUL HEART


In Jesus' name and the name
Of our ALL LOVING FATHER=GOD
