i'm thankful that God loved me, and everyone else in this world, enough that he sent his perfect and holy son Jesus to be a substitution sacrifice for my sins.
i'm thankful for the great and loving and caring family that God has provided for me and the nice warm house that God has blessed me with.
i'm grateful for all my believing friends that i have and how God has worked in their lives and how i have come to be closer with each of them.
i'm thankful that God has provided my family with healthy meals that have filled my stomach and how he has always been looking out for me, being the protector and healer.
i'm thankful for all the unneeded items of entertainment that God has granted me with.
i'm thankful for my wonderful talent of drawing that i have been gifted with and i pray that i will use this talent to bring glory to God's name.
i'm thankful that my brother is engaged with a wonderful and Godly woman who loves and fears God and i pray that the soon-to-come wedding will be filled with joy.
there are way too many things to be thankful for and i could go on and on. let's just say that God has really blessed me with the life i have and all that is in my life...

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)
"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
