Introduction to the Week of Months Series

As I spent time with God each day over a period of months, it transformed my understanding of the reality of God through experience. Being older, God and I go back a ways. While my ability to stay focused has been challenged, God as always has stayed the course of being a loving Father. And there have been numerous miracles. When I started my family lived in a one room efficiency apartment. Today we have a house in the country on three acres we are buying, paying little more than for that apartment! My daughter was deathly allergic to peanuts. Suddenly, that was gone, and now her favorite sandwich is peanut butter and jelly. While this may not sound like much to us adults, it was a big deal to a 10 year old. And the list goes on. Please do not take this wrong and think that somehow by some formula you will be able to get God to move on your behalf. The point is He already is and wants to be, and if we can connect and plug in to what He is doing, then we experience life as God meant it to be, based on an opportunity to walk down that path together. God has a pattern to His creation we can discover in our walk with Him.

Introduction to Daily Devotional: Thankfulness

I recorded a portion of what occurred on my daily devotional journey, and that is the book you are now reading. This book is the fifth book in the series, “Week of Months”, and was written over that period of months by spending time with God each day. Each day had a different theme to it. Having previously written “Daily Devotional: Heart of the Nation” from prayers and visions I had experienced, it occurred to me that others may benefit from having a pattern of daily prayer to follow.

Have you ever done something for someone or given something to someone and they did not acknowledge it, let alone say thank you? Growing up my parents were really big on saying please and thank you. That lesson was drilled into me from a very young age. Growing older we can get in a rush to move from one thing to the next. Sometimes we forget just how important it is to say thank you when someone does something for us or gives us a gift.

God created everything. The world is help together because He holds it together. He has provided for everything we need, even before we need it or ask for it. He protects us from the weather, provides the food we need to eat, watches over us and our children while we sleep. He even had his Son die for us that we may have our sins forgiven and have eternal life restored to Him. How could we not want to say thank you? I must confess that for me, sometimes I still get in a hurry. Sometimes I get caught up in my stuff, and forget to say thanks. What my desire for myself, my family, and all believers is would be to get to the place where we live in a constant state of Thankfulness to God.

The cover of this book shows a picture of a rainbow. God placed the rainbow in the sky as a reminder of the covenant He made to never again flood the earth with water. It is a beautiful picture, and it caused me to get a sense of that Thankfulness that I want to live in when I saw it. It is my hope that this image and the words that follow will cause us all to strive to spend time everyday not only giving praise and thanks to God, but to somehow manage to live in that place of Thankfulness.

To God be the glory!
