Wearing the Mask of God

What workers are you thankful for? Whose labour does God use to provide good things for you? I’m inviting you to help me out by adding to the list at Out of the Ordinary, where I posted this morning.

Thankful Thursday

Tonight, as I drive to choir practice, I’ll be thanking God for my winter tires. I’m thankful, too, that I had the means to buy them. 

I’m also thankful

• for this afternoon’s 4 or 5 inches of new snow. If it’s going to be winter, we might as well have enough snow to play in. 
• for my furnace,  and for the oil it burns to keep me warm.
• for all my winter gear, parka, boots, mitts and tuque.
• for a warm bed—for my down comforter and wool blanket.
• for my family nearby, keeping my life full and busy.
• for projects to work on.
• that God enlightens his own so they see the truth about him.

What are you thankful for?
