Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for:

New life. A robin built her nest on the gutter downspout outside the sunroom window. The chicks have safely left the nest but not without a few scary moments. The nest was attacked by a crow when the chicks were quite small, but it was chased away by several mockingbirds.

Saints who cross the finish line.

Seeming paradoxes that force me to go back to God's Word. There is no contradiction within God or His revelation.

Unexpected reminders to not be anxious. The Lord knows I need this on a regular basis, and His timing was impeccable this evening.

Verses like these:

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Matthew 7:11
