Give Thanks 

Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good. His mercy endures forever.  Psalms 136:1

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance , chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a strange into a friend. Gratitude make sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. - Melody Beattie

Wow  can you believe that the year is almost over. I am sure through out this year there have been good times and also bad. Yet through out it all  we can without a doubt stop and be thankful for some one. This someone who is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the END. This some one who is still on the throne. Whose mercy endureth forever. Our true and living God . 
And because he lives today we can have HOPE and experience his goodness and his mercy,
HOPE, my friends—because God promises one day to wipe away every tear from our eyes.
Hope of a day when “there shall be no more death,  no sorrow, no crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:1-5
HOPE—because as we await the fulfilment of that promise, you and I can live in that expectation of a better tomorrow.
So today  and moving forward, Stop and thank God for HOPE . Give thanks unto the LORD.  And just watch how in just giving him thanks the cares and pain of this life will have a new look because you are now  looking through it all with eyes of gratitude. Give Thanks today!
