I’m concerned that I’ve overlooked something important in my voluminous writing. In my zeal to confront false religion I may not have been clear about the overwhelming debt of gratitude I have piled up during my life.
The Lord God Almighty has given me everything.
I contribute nothing to my life. God alone sustains me. My heart beats because of The Lord. My lungs work all night long while I’m asleep. My bones are held together by His strength, not mine. I cannot even praise Him unless He allows it. It is by God’s grace that I express my gratitude.
The sun rose this morning. I can see it with my eyes and feel it on my skin. God sends rain to the grass in my lawn and gives me tools to keep that grass trimmed. I’ve got cabinets full of food. I can communicate with my friends in an instant even though we are separated by hundreds of miles.
Every talent I possess was handed to me by The Lord. I am not a self-made man. I deserve no credit for any remarkable achievements. Any success testifies to God’s faithfulness. Every good gift comes from Him.
I want to be clear in case my pride and foolishness has obscured the truth. If I had a thousand tongues I could not sing my Redeemer’s praise. I will owe Him my thanks for eternity.
(Psalm 117) “Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord.”

Love love LOVE this! I would not be alive today if it were not for the saving grace of God. 28 years ago, I was pregnant with my second son when I suddenly hemorrhaged 7 2/2 weeks early. In the ambulance they told the hospital that my BP was 40 over 12 and dropping. We should have died. But by God’s grace we had a VERY emergent C-section and lived; and I am forever grateful. Praise be to God and His mercies! ❤️
