Oh give thanks to the Lord, for HE IS good and His mercy endures forever. Psalm 136:1
As the weather grows colder, in preparation for Wisconsin's winter, I realize how very thankful I am! The lower the temperature falls and harsher the wind blows the greater my appreciation for the warm home that I am blessed with. I could never fully imagine what it was like to live as an early settler in this state, to live in a one room cabin with a sod roof, and stay warm throughout the entire winter. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. We have come a long way to say the very least. The faith and trust the people of that era had to have in the Lord that He would supply their every need is amazing to me. It makes me wonder though as technological advances continue to make our lives easier have we lost (or are we losing) our ability to rely on the Lord, for His help in our lives? One thing I do know for sure is that my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, helps me with little and big things in my life, daily, whether I realize it or not. I have to say for this I am truly thankful to HIM! He is amazing! I give thanks to my Lord, for He is GOOD to me, and His mercy endures for me and my family forever!!! Now, think about everything the Lord has done for you and your family, look up and take a second to stop and thank Him!!!
