Do You Thank God? Should You?

My Mom, who is 78 years young, fell the other day. Her lip and nose were banged up. She was talking to someone and said "thank God"..the person looked at her and wondered why she would thank God since she did get banged up.

I too believe that many who ask for help may not remember to thank God for what they get. I think America may find that they should have kept better in touch with God too.

I’m quite sure your Mom thanked God that she wasn’t hurt any worse than she was...........and I’m thankful that she wasn’t hurt any worse, too.

I guess the correct answer that would have made the other party not ask that question,is if mom would have thanked Obama.
I’ll thank God ,and you can thank whomever.

Do You Thank God?

Not as often as I should; He has been far better to me than I deserve!

As Dr. David Jeremiah says, quoting William Culbertson, “Keep praying, but be thankful that God’s answers are wiser than your prayers!”

Amen!

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God..... Philippians 4: 6

Psalm 51:17

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart,

O God, you will not despise.

Wow. Did you bother to read the article? Your answer tells me you didn’t. Sherry’s mom was praising God and trying to explain why to someone who may not have understood God in the same way her mom did. What does Obama have to do with this article?
