We should say with every morsel of bread, ‘This is God’s gift to me’; of every night’s sleep, ‘This is the Lord’s goodness.’ God is pleased when we acknowledge these outward signs. -Thomas Manton

The older I get and the more rare a really good night of sleep, the more thankful I am for God’s goodness in the form of sleep!

I’m thankful for His provision of daily bread and the Daily Bread of His Word.

A more constant recognition that all that comes to me—things that I like and things that I don’t—is from God’s hand brings with it deeper contentment in whatever the circumstance. This is very much an indication of God’s faithful work in my heart. I praise Him for such mercy.

Every Thursday of this year, I’m joining Kim and other friends in expressing thanks to God because He is so good! Have you thanked Him today? We want to hear about it!
