Ephesians 4:7, 11-16:
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
This week I'm thankful for gifts--both spiritual and practical.
I'm thankful that Christ has given us all jobs to do--but not all the same job.
I'm thankful that the purpose of these gifts is to build up the body of Christ.
I'm thankful that someday, we'll reach unity in faith and knowledge, as well as maturity.
I'm thankful for how God has provided--He has diffused most of the "bombs" from a few weeks ago. My parents sent a birthday check that covers the IRS bill (which was lower than the amount they listed), we have a lead on a sub for me, and a couple of possibilities for childcare.
I'm thankful for the gift of my children. Six years has sure gone fast, and I know it'll only accelerate as we hit the school years.
And I'm thankful that Iris hosts Thankful Thursday!
