Gratitude List

"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him."  John Piper

One of the ways we can show our satisfaction in God is through our gratitude.  That's what the Gratitude Community is all about.  My list is growing each day:

216.  That God is with us even when we turn away from him.
217.  That he loves and pursues even messed up prophets like Jonah--what can he do with me?
218.  The body of believers.
219.  Peace in my heart.
220.  Good music.
221.  The imagination of children--watching my boys turn my bed into a ship that went off to war
222.  Hearing the sadness in my son's voice and knowing he loves Jesus when he said this morning that he doesn't like to hear the passages in scripture about Jesus being beaten and whipped.
223.  Clean laundrey and a washer that works.
224.  Helping little hands do crafts in Sunday school.
225.  The power of God's word to change lives.
