Romans 5: 6-11

Thanks Be to You, Lord!
What a perfect day! The high is to be 70 degrees (in January). The sun is shining, there is a light breeze. My thoughts are "what did we Kansas residents do to deserve such a glorious day?" And then it hit me! We didn't deserve this day; we didn't earn it. It wasn't payment for a job well done. It just is! I compare it to Jesus' death on the cross for us, and the salvation we receive. We don't deserve that - we didn't earn everlasting life and yet we get to reap the benefits. Awesome, mind-boggling, isn't it? We can never thank him enough!
Prayer: Lord, help us be ever mindful of all you have done for us. May we in turn share the wondrous news with all. With sincere thanks. Amen.
