Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you! 1 Peter 1:3-4

I read these verse on Thanksgiving morning as Elliot was being a fussy-butt, waking up early on a holiday and making mommy and daddy a little annoyed. I knew that I didn’t want to start of a holiday where we celebrate giving thanks by being in a sour mood. As He typically does, God changed my mood by reminding me of what is really important: the gospel.
This Thanksgiving, as I think about the things that I have been thankful for, I can’t help but remember the thing that I am ultimately thankful for: the mercy of God in my life, that he would save a lowly sinner such as myself. I am looking forward to that inheritance that is waiting for those who have faith in Christ–an inheritance that can’t perish, spoil, or fade!
What are you thankful for this year?
