Thankful For His Touch by Anne Graham Lotz
As I count my blessings this Thanksgiving, I am praising God for who He is and what He has done this past year. Ironically, one of the highlights occurred when I went through major surgery that required six days in the hospital. During that time, my two daughters tag-teamed so that one of them was with me 24/7. My predominant memory of that time is not the pain, or the tubes, or the needles, but the loving way Morrow and Rachel-Ruth cared for me. They didn’t just get me a drink, help me walk, or adjust my pillows. They stroked my head. They held my hand. They kissed my cheek. And I was reminded to humbly renew my thanksgiving for His touch …
Who do you know who needs a fresh touch from Jesus? Someone who needs His clarity, His cleansing, His change, His calm, and/or His care? This Thanksgiving, would you thank Him for His touch in your life by obeying His commission, and extending His touch to someone else?
Discover His clarifying and cleansing touch
Prayer
Heavenly Father, our hearts are filled with praise and thanksgiving for the many ways You have touched our lives in this past year and all the years before. We give You the glory for everything that we have, for we acknowledge that every good and perfect gift comes from You, our eternal and everlasting Source. Thank You that we know You will continue to abide with us as we offer our worship and praise to You for Your mighty deeds. Amen.
