A FESTIVAL OF HARVEST
Today's reading: Deuteronomy 16-19

"...Bring him a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings you have received from him." Deuteronomy 16:10 NLT

Lord,

If this coming Sunday were to be the day set aside for me to honor You and the blessings You have poured into my life, then I have a list of things to do...

-I must lease a fleet of semi-trucks.
-I must rent as many U-hauls as I can get my hands on.
-I must borrow every single pick-up truck I know of.
-I must get several of those box-trucks many warehouses now use.
-I will have to hire some drivers.

You see, Lord, if I were to give back to You in proportion to all You have given to me--I'd need a convoy of trucks to haul in my offering!

I think I'm a thankful believer. I am very much aware of all You blessed me with. And yet, it renders me speechless when I come face to face with how to 'really' thank You for all You have done.

My heart is as full as my life this morning. I'm overwhelmed with the blessings You've provided.

In my wildest imaginations, I cannot come up with sufficient ways to show You my gratitude. I can't think of anything that would truly and completely give You the praise You deserve. I couldn't purchase/rent/borrow/lease enough trucks!

So, I'll attempt to live my life for you.

Your Grateful Child,
Malinda
