always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:20 I love this verse! It is an excellent reminder to give thanks for everything. One thing I am thankful for is my automobile. Somedays, when I get in my car, I whisper a thank you to God. My car is not new, but it is a great car. I remember some of the clunkers I had to drive. So, I thank God for a reliable vehicle. When I think about transportation in the past, walking, or riding in a wagon or sleigh, I am even more thankful for the car that God provided. But not just my car. The house I have, the food I eat. God owns everything, and anything we have ultimately comes from God’s hand. I remember days when we had very little and having enough food and a warm house was a struggle. So, I am deeply grateful for what we have. I am reminded that it is God who gives it.
