Ch. 50 - Not Just a Holiday

I thank God every day for my family, including my family here in Salt Lake. I don't think I have ever realized the full value of friendship until I moved here. I know I've written in regards to friends and such before, but I don't think anybody will ever fully know how grateful I am that God has placed them in my life.

It's incomprehensible when I think about how much God loves me.

God loves everybody.

Everybody.

But I like to be prideful about the fact that He loves me.

'Well whaddya know? God loves me so much that He provided me with a beautiful sunset to view as I take an evening walk. Thanks, Big Guy.'

'Thank you, Lord, for loving me so much that you give me laughter and joy through people like Darcy and Katie when I'm feeling down.'

'I can't believe God loves me so much that He would open up my heart after years of turning away. Thank you, thank you, thank you, my beautiful God.'

I have so much to be thankful for - and even though I take so much for granted, God still loves me.


' "Praise be to you, O Lord, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O lord is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name." '
[1 Chronicles 29:11-13]
