As we grow in Jesus, Colossians 2:7 tells us that our lives should “overflow with thanksgiving.” What are you grateful for today?

today's conversation:
In response to Jesus’ statement that He came to “testify to the truth,” Pilate said, “What is truth?” (John 18:37-38). How would you answer his question?

I am grateful for God always providing for me and my family! I am also grateful for God’s love and the wonderful family He has given me!
I am grateful for God’s mercy. I would have missed the mark on so many different occasions with God or had gone and done my own thing instead of waiting on God and totally messed everything up. What does God do?? Brushes me off, pick me up, gives me a great big hug and lets me know that he stil loves me.
God is too awesome for words!!!!!!

I am thankful for so much that it is hard to put it into words. I am thankful that God is calling my sons back to him and they are turning their ear to his voice. They are not obeying yet, but they are open to listen. I am thankful that God provided me a husband that has the ability to love me unconditionally. Without experiencing it firsthand, I don’t think I could have understood that love like that exists.
I am grateful for God’s grace which is sufficient enough for me.
I am thankful for the gift of salvation that was offered to me.

I am soooo Thankful for all God has done for me and my family. God has seen me through some very rough times this past 7 months.

I am grateful for mentors, individuals who have poured generously into my life. Today, I stand on the broad shoulders of people whose words and actions have etched grooves of love, honesty, respect, generosity, transparency, fearing God, and reverence for God’s word. I don’t want to ever forget my “soul shapers.”
