Today’s song video has a wonderful intro by Bill Gaither, with James Easter (and his son Jeff) telling the touching story behind the song, "Thank You Lord for Your Blessings." Are you thankful today? It is often the “little” things in life that we all tend to take for granted … but are really the most important when all is said and done. When was the last time you thanked God for the roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, food on your table and shoes on your feet? And the biggest blessing of all … when was the last time you thanked God for His Love?
1Thessalonians 5:16-18 – “Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Psalms 50:14 - “Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:” Psalms 100:4 - “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” Ephesians 1:3 - “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” Psalms 144:15b - “… yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.”
While the world looks upon me, as I struggle alone, they say I have nothing, but they are so wrong! In my heart I'm rejoicing, how I wish they could see! Thank you Lord, for your blessings on me! There's a roof up above me, I've a good place to sleep; there's food on my table and shoes on my feet. You gave me Your Love, Lord, and a fine family. Thank you Lord, for your blessings on me! I know I'm not wealthy, and these clothes, they're not new. I don't have much money, but Lord I have You! That's all that matters, though the world may not see. Thank you Lord, for your blessings on me!
