Thessalonian Mondays

We have been encouraged by the thankfulness of others to start our own list of gratitude.

We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work, Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-18

And so we thank God for...

1. Life in Christ Jesus.

2. Fresh fluffy snow.

3. Internet service that works.

4.Forgiveness for sin

5.Employees that grow my patience

6.A wife who cares enough to expose to me my own faults and failures

7. A wife who communes with the Almighty

8. A son with a pliable heart

9. second chances

10. Brothers

11. The quickening of the heart to be part of this great urgent war through reading J. R. R. Tolkien

12. Wool socks

13. Amazing love, that thou my God should die for me

14. Missionaries giving their lives for the Cross of Christ

15. For how I can plead and cry and cry out with the Psalmists


16. Jersey cows and the humor they bring to life

17. Sound advice
