Hello God. It's me, Mara

You know, Lord, sometimes while looking for one thing, another thing pops up that catches our attention. This newly found item, a thank you note to God, surely seemed to be quite appropriate; just sharing with others, Lord. The author is unknown:

Dear God, thank you for the obvious, thank you for what we take for granted, thank you for your creation of all things. Thank you for now.

Thank you for making me what I am — help me to become what I should be, in you.

Thank you for church financial problems — to draw us closer to you — to need you, to want you, to really depend on you.

Thank you that you care so much for us that you count us worthy to walk this mile with you; as you show us how to become like you, especially in valley times as we climb to mountain top experiences.

Thank you, Lord, that time is so short — that we are almost ready to spend eternity with you.

Thank you, Jesus, for loving us first and for dying on the Cross for us, that we might have eternal salvation — just for the asking.

Thank you, Jesus, for rainbows and butterflies, rain drops and snowflakes.

Thank you, Lord, that you know all things, seen and unseen, that we can call on you, that you are right here beside us, holding our hand, guiding us. Help us, Lord, to become the loving person that you have planned for us to be.

Thank you, Lord, that you are right there to help us to remember the power in and of your holy name.

Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble.”

We know we all have troubles, but trouble or no trouble, Thank you, Lord, for ever being with us.

Love, Mara
