Be Thankful

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

One of my lessons for the week is being thakful. Yesterday my dad, mom, brother, and me went to Kohls to return a pair of tennis shoes so I could get a pair I liked a little more. After two hours of shopping for some I found nothing and left the store with empty hands. I saw this pair of black and white tennis shoes. They're nikes. And I loved them! Well I couldn't get them and after I saw those shoes I really wanted nothing else. After that I was picky. Cause all I really wanted was that shoe.  Anywho, I got a pair of shoes at another store after getting the big talk with my dad. I liked them a lot though. Anyway, my point is we need to be thankful. That's something I've failed at this week. We deserve nothing of this. Only to be sent to hell. But God have forgiven us and gave us so much. Even when we sin against him so much everyday. He has been gracious to us. Thank you Jesus! There are kids around the country with no shoes, a home, a bed, or a bible. People around the world REJOICE for just one page of the bible in their language. And I have what like 20 bibles in my whole house. We have so much to be thankful for. God is so good to us! And let me share this lyric that I love form the song "Amen, He Lives" By Matt Maher. 

Because He lives
I can face tomorrow 

I just love this lyric because it reminds me of how God died on the cross for me. For the people who wanted to kill him. For Pilot. For me. For my family. 

Because he lives I can face tomorrow. Thank you Jesus. 

And last of all I have a post I posted on my group blog a long time ago. 

I hope you like! 

Sometimes we are so caught up in what we can have that we forget what we have.

We forget that that we don’t deserve anything.

Not our family.

Not a bed.

Not even a single penny.

So why should we want more.

Sometimes I like to think of all the big blessings God has given me.

Even the little ones too.

Like my bed.

And my family.

My education.

Food.

Technology where we can communicate with long distance friends.

A bible.

A notebook and pencil.

Some people have none of these things.

They live in a little house.

They go days without eating.

And they don’t have shoes to wear outside.

Why do I want so much more when I do not even deserve anything.

And while others just pray for a meal.

I want something like a shiny bicycle.

Thank you God for blessing me with all these many many blessing.

Although I deserve none of them.

You give them to me.

When others hated you and spit on you.

You died for them.

Thank you Jesus!

Hope you like!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas is music and family in town
Christmas is snoopy and Charlie brown

 It's anticipating that snows going to fall
And praying for someplace to park at the mall

 It’s mom going crazy cuz the turkey got burned
It saying thanks for some gift you’ll return

 Christmas is caroling kids at your door
It's paper and ribbon all over the floor

 Christmas is coming, Christmas is near
I’ve been counting down the days all year
Christmas is almost here

 Christmas is rooftops covered in lights
It’s away in the manger, It’s a wonderful life

 Christmas is caring for those who got nothing
It’s dropping your change in the bell ringers bucket

Christmas is coming, Christmas is near
I’ve been counting down the days all year
Christmas is almost here

 Christmas is all of these fun things for sure
But, Christmas is really, oh so much more.

 It’s good news of hope for the whole world to because
Christmas is Jesus

 Christmas is coming, Christmas is near

 I’ve been counting down the days
I’ve been counting down the days

 I’ve been counting down the days all year

 Christmas is almost here

 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

 I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

 

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
