“Lord, we give You thanks for all that You in Your mercy have given us to be and to do and to have. Deliver us, Lord, from all greed to be and to do and to have anything not in accord with Your holy purposes. Teach us to rest quietly in Your promise to supply, recognizing that if we don’t have it we don’t need it. Teach us to desire Your will – nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else. For Jesus’ sake. Amen.â€
(Elisabeth Elliot, Keep A Quiet Heart, pg. 126)
May this be our prayer today…and everyday.
“…give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.â€
~1 Thessalonians 5:18

May you all have a wonderful day of reflecting on your blessings…and giving thanks to the Giver.
