House of Lloyd

“In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.”–John 14:2

Today I am thankful to know that my life here in this world is not all that there is to life. God has specifically told us that he is preparing a place for us with his father in his house. I can only imagine what Heaven will be like. I am sure that my imagination can not do the work of our God  justice. We his children are blessed beyond measure to know that he is waiting for us with his arms open wide.

And be kind one to another: merciful, forgiving one another, even as God has forgiven you in Christ.- Ephesians 4:32

Today I am thankful for the forgiveness of God. We all make mistakes in our lives and at times we all need to fall on our faces and ask for forgiveness. I am so glad that we have a father who is willing to forgive us when we fall short and sin. Without the forgiveness of God we would be a lost people with no purpose in living our lives. The forgiveness of God toward us is the perfect example of how we should be forgiving of others who cause us harm.

I am also thankful that I have access to Christan programming on both the television and the radio.

Today I am thankful that God has given us the gift of his written word in the form of the Bible. I am thankful that I have access to the Bible in many translations so that I can enrich my study of the word. I am thankful that every time I read my Bible I can hear God speaking to me. (more…)
