OK, I am Canadian and that means that, like all good Canadians, I have already celebrated Thanksgiving. Still, I realize that there are many Americans who frequent Graceland and for you patient souls, Thanksgiving is yet to come. More to the point, I've often thought that we are much less thankful than we should be, especially if we are Christians. So, since being thankful never goes out of style, the November Edition of the Heavenly Top Ten is:
“Top Ten Things For Which You've Never Thought To Thank God”
- That your kids have finally grown out of their desire to slide grilled cheese sandwiches into your VCR.
- hat for most people blind dates are only a repressed memory.
- That your daughter probably doesn't know anybody named "Daddy Killer" or "Spew" — at least on a first name basis.
- That in the great Final Exam, Christ has all the right answers, and you're allowed to peek at His sheet!
- That the God who created stars and mountains also made hot fudge sundaes, Sunday afternoon naps, and soft pillows.
- That while your cat refuses to acknowledge your leadership abilities; it at least keeps your feet warm — sometimes — OK, when it feels like it.
- hat you've been known to laugh so hard during lunch that milk comes out your nose!
- That June bugs are only around in June.
- That elections don't happen on a yearly basis.
- And the number one thing
for which you should thank God is: - That Jesus is more loving, more forgiving, and more patient than you can ever dream, or imagine, or need!
The Heavenly Top Ten is intended to be a fun look at
issues of faith and fellowship. It should not be considered a serious treatment
of
any of the topics presented.
