Lately we've been having various disagreements between the way we either interpret the Bible or what we believe. I thought we might at least agree on one point. We all have so much to praise Him about... Lets give God a big Praise shout today. Share with others what you have to shout about.
I have a lot to praise Him for. Number one being His grace that saved someone like me. My wife now and the one God blessed me with for 30 years. My six children, my seven grand children and the two on the way. A Christian business partner and a wonderful business that gives me the opportunity to preach His word without taking money from the ministry. A wonderful ministry. I praise God for being born in the great country. Riches beyond measure... and friends like you guys to have a place to share God's love and to agree to disagree. Thank you all for taking me in. I really needed this place. I praise God for you all. Bob <><
Amen...first Rev.I'd like to say I don't plan to let my thread get out of hand. I know when to stop and I know Leaf does too. He's a good man.

I thank God for the privedge to pray and for my prayer partners,deer in the freezer { Thanks to Strut as well} Friends like you, a great paying job, a wonderful wife , 3 sons, opportunities to serve Him in church, my Summit climber, being in Florida.. fresh fruits and vegtables year round, His Son dying for us so that we may have fellowship with God one on one, for His HOly Spirit that councels us into ALL truth, our health and Bibles, for central air {First time in 51 years} and the loss of 18 pounds so far in Jan. My jon boat and a great place to fish.I'm also thankful that Leaf and I are friends.C7
I have an incredible amount to be thankfull for. I thank God everyday! You make a great point Rev. In light of all our blessings, it seems so foolish to bicker and argue about our differences.

Isnt it pathetic when we forget to praise God by being thankful for our many blessings?
According to Romans 1, a lack of thanksgiving ia aserious thing!Just ask the Israleites on the day of provocation how much the Lord is tired of our complaining and our lack of thanksgiving!
I praise Him first because He suffered for me. I'm also thankful for the many lessons He has taught this hard headed sinner. The Lord really blesses my life in all ways. I have a happy marriage, both of my parents are still living. I retired from an extremly well paying job a few yrs ago that I hated. I now have a job that I'm okey with but doesn't pay much. I increase anyway regardless of the money. Whatever I set my hand to the means and the way is always here on time. I am trusted with some problem boys, and I thank Him that they see something in me that allows me to get thru to them in many cases. I'm thankful for the brothers, friends, and pesky neighbors I come in contact with on this forum. God is great, and I am ever so thankful to be a child of the King!

God is great and greatly to be praised! He kept me in the early stages of life when I didn't deserve to be kept. He gave me a good wife, three good kids. The eldest son is on the church board, plays the drums, sings with the trio, and conducts the service before Dad comes to minister. The girl is the Sec/treasurer, piano player, song leader, and sings specials. The youngest has chosen not to serve God at the present but prayer can change that. All four of the Grandchildren are growing up in the Church. My family is truly blessed.
