Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:20
As I write, I’m looking beyond my sliding glass door at a plaque on our patio wall. It’s surrounded by potted plants and flowers and a bird house. The plaque says: “So very Thankful, Forever Grateful, Unbelievably Blessed.” You know, when my disability encroaches, God kindly gives me tangible reminders of the power of Ephesians 5: “Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything….” That weathered wall plaque with precious words of gratitude as I look at it, it prompts me to repeat the many blessings for which I am thankful in my wheelchair: salvation in Christ, freedom from the clutches of sin, a home in heaven, escape from hell, a brotherhood of believers, a purpose for living, a Bible to treasure, and family and friends to love, and a Savior to worship. And that’s just scratching the surface of my gratitude.
Every day of the week, the Joni and Friends staff prays for our ministry, staff, volunteers, and ministry partners. We invite you to join us in prayer for our ministry activities and outreaches. Thank you for bringing our requests before the Lord.
