Last Night

Last night I was blessed to wake up and not go back to sleep right away.

As always, I began to praise our Maker and think on His bounty to us all.

A very curious thought came to mind, and it is almost weird..

When we, as believers, thinkwe have accompished something, achieved anything,, or mde
any material gain due to our own prowess, it is a boast. It could even be construed as
stealing frm God..
Now I have always know we come into the world with nothing and we will in no wise take anythingwith us wehn we depart, not in the flesh or material manner.
I always thank God, for just about everything because this is the only sacrifice we may
give Him, thanksgiving that is.. It is important we realize we cannot even take anothe breath unleass our Father allows........so, it is good, and, it is wonderful to thank Him for everything, for we can do nothing unless He allows it.
This is a thrill to understand, and it is eternal. Thank Him for everything, even things that seem awful for you; it is amazing how edifying it is, like forgiving all......wonderful because our Father is wonderful.....perfect and He is perfecting us, amen.

i did not continue on the theme, but the realization that if I think I have done plaything r have anything on my own it is like thinking I have taken something from God bcause everything, not almost everything, everything is from Him, and He is so glorious. Anyway I truly thank our Father fro everything beginning with our Savior, His Only Begotten.
