Today the jovenes wrote letters thanking God for all the positive things in life, so we can look back at it when we are really down. Here is my letter:
Thank You
I
know sometimes I so easily forget all the beautiful things you have done for me. You provide so much, so many little things, and the big things. When I get down, please bring all this to my mind.First of all, thank you for saving me, even though I was rebellious and lacked personal conviction at times. Without you, my life would be meaningless - I would have no drive or purpose.
Thank you for giving me my family, although I become frustrated at times, I see how they support and love me.
Thank you for providing me with the basic needs that not everyone has. I take it for granted that I have a bed to sleep in my own room. I shouldn't complain that it floods, I should be thankful that I have a room to flood :o) I have clean clothes and food each day, and don't have to worry about where my next meal will come from.
And thank you for all the little things you bless me with. I hope I never forget the beauty you send my way - From the huge sunflower growing out of the concrete expressway, to the hundreds of butterflies flying overhead on my way to work and the cloudy, purplish orange sunset on my way home.
Thank you for my friends, who I can confide in and just have fun with. I am fortunate that you have entrusted them to me.
Remind me of all of these things when I am complaining that my room flooded again, or my car broke down, or that my life seems to be falling apart. Show me that through everything, you are there holding it all together.
Love,
Jennie
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38,39
