Okay, it's been a while.

I know it has been a while, but life happens. 
I don't know that I have much to say other than I am a thankful man. 
I am thankful that in a world of chaos, God is in control.
I am thankful that His grace is sufficient and that no matter what we are faced with that God can get us through.  Sometimes we look at life or life's situations and think that it is hopeless or we wonder why God would do something to us or allow things to happen.  I think that is normal.
But, it is important to understand that everything happens for a reason and though we may not know why here, God gives us NOTHING that He doesn't give us the power and ability and strength to overcome.  He'll help us handle it if we trust in Him.
I am thankful that I serve a Savior that no other religion can say that they have.
Jesus willingly gave His life for me to be saved.  No other religious leader has ever done such a thing and no other religious leader will do such a thing.  To me, that makes Christians followers of a true prophet who laid down His life for us. 
Jesus also was thankful for the broken body.  In the Lord's Supper in the Gospels, Jesus always gives thanks before the bread is broken.  The broken bread and the wine represent His broken body and blood and He gave thanks for it.  No other religious leader can make that claim and surely can't support it. 
I am thankful that I serve the real Savior of the World.  Jesus gives us what no other religious leader or so-called prophet in history has given............His life.
Trust in everything about Him; His provision, His grace, His mercy, His power, His protection.  NOBODY else can offer what Jesus has given. 

Until next time..................
