IN EVERYTHING, GIVE THANKS Thank you Mimi, for giving us a place to tell what we are thankful for!

The quote I just used may have been said by someone else unknown, but I am glad to repeat it. In my struggle with Lyme Disease, I would not have been here today if it hadn't been for God's light.
David said "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my pathway." (Psalm 119:105 ) Earlier in the same Psalm, (vs 11), David said "Thy word have I hid in mine heart , that I might not sin against thee."
Because I had many scriptures memorized and relied much on my faith in God, He was able to speak to my spirit in my time of trouble. I am so thankful for early training in scripture!
The gratitude that comes from my innermost being is that I could hear God speaking above all the materialistic, financial , and physical disability I was facing. As I have stated in a previous posting, I found the ability to go on with life by heeding God's instruction to store my treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:19-21).
What we possess here on earth will not be taken with us when we die. I have never seen a hearse with a u-haul attached to it on the way to bury the dead. If it was, I'm almost positive that it was carrying a vault at the most!
Sure, we've read of how the families, slaves, and treasures were buried with kings, but the point I'm trying to make here is that those things didn't go with the soul. God's WORD says that we as mortals must take on immortality. And corruptible; incorruptible. Man made items are not included. Sorry. You might want to think about this.
