Good morning my dear friends in Christ!

"For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:" - I Timothy 4

The word thanksgiving means to show our gratitude through our words. Do you thank God for the provision of your food before each meal? You should, you know.

According to Our Daily Bread, when King Alfonso XII of Spain learned that the attendants of his court were neglecting to pray before eating, he determined to teach them a lesson. A huge banquet was prepared, and all the king’s guests plowed in, none of them pausing to give thanks to God. But by pre-arrangement, a filthy beggar... #D4Ldevotion #D4L

Hahahaaaa that's hilarious. And this little boy didn't even intend for it to be so, but yet it was so apt.

i ask God to bless the food and whatever i'm drinking, and i thank Him for it.

He is a GOOD God, and i am thankful for His provision.

Thank you for this humorous and at the same time profound reminder, study, and meditation on this downright cold Monday morning, brother.

God bless you. :)

I am in the deep south, so cold probably has a different meaning for me. Last night we plunged into the 40's and it's currently 64. lol In Christ alone!
