Dear God, 

I have never thanked You for my thorns. 
I have thanked You a thousand times for 
my roses, but never once for my thorns. 

Father please teach me the glory of the 
cross I bear; Father Please teach me, 
the true value of my thorns.

Show me that I have climbed closer to 
You along the path of pain. Show me that, 
through my tears, the colors of Your rainbow 
will look much more brilliant to me.

Praise Him for the roses; 
Thank Him for the thorns.
God Bless all of you. 
Be thankful for all that 
The Lord does for you.

"Live simply, love generously, 
care deeply, speak kindly, 
and leave the rest to God."

We often try to fix problems with WD-40 and Duct tape. 
God did it with an old rugged cross and nails. 

So please remember Jesus is the reason for this season.

May He Receive All The Glory Out Of Your Life In This New Year!
