Holy, Holy God,

Thank You! Thank You for so many incredible things for which to be thankful. Thank You for thirty-six years of marriage to a man who really, truly loves me. Thank You for all the bumps and glitches we have hit on this journey of getting to know and love one another as YOU would have us love.

Father, how thankful I am that we have come to build this relationship on You and Your Word. It took us such a long time to realize our need for You. Thank You for Your patience with us.

Thank You for the opportunity to come to Your Word this morning. Thank You for directing me to Hebrews 12. So many reasons to be thankful! Thank You that while it was verse 28b, “... let us please God by serving Him with thankful hearts and with holy fear and awe” that brought me here, it's the totality of the chapter that reminds me of so many of Your Truths and promises.

Father, we have things to do and places to go. While I am not at all ready to end this prayer time with You, I ask that You would go with us this day. YOU are indeed the reason we are still together after all these years! And we are truly thankful!

Thank You for enabling us to still laugh at our inside joke, “And they said it wouldn't last!” Thank You for ALL You've done to prove 'them' wrong. We love You Father and we are absolutely thankful to You.

Be with and in and around this day we pray. Thank You. Amen.
