A time to give thanks!!!

Yesterday, my daughter Hannah and her husband, Enoch dedicated their son (my grandson:-) Isaiah to the Lord , at their Church. At a different service, our son Sam and wife, Priscila dedicated little Giana,their daughter( my grandaughter :-) to the Lord. As I sat in church thinking about what was happening,tears began to fill my eyes just for the fact that God has allowed me the joy of seeing the baton of Faith being passed on to the future generations. What a tremendous privledge it is and what a Great God we serve!!!I am continually amazed at His faithfulness and remind myself of His great mercy and grace"It is because of the Lord's great mercy that we are not consumed".The older I get, the more I have realized that the greatest gifts in life are not things you can see with you eyes, but things that are felt by your heart. Yesterday my heart swelled with joy beyond comprehension, and I could sense God's pleasure as He was watching over us and the activity of the day. I truely am thankful to God for all he has done........His mercies are new every morning.....and GREAT is HIS FAITHFULNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
