Thanks for Refreshment

8/2/1997

Our God, we would like to thank You for refreshing us, because that can only happen because of a Gift that You have given to us. Thank You very much that You have refreshed us, renewed our minds and encouraged us. It’s a precious, precious thing. You’ve sown some seeds into our hearts, and we want to guard them and protect them and do all we can to ensure that they produce the crop that You intended by giving them to us. We are very, very grateful for all that You do. We want to partake of your Life and somehow I think the bread and the wine that You talked to Your disciples about, You wanted them to consume You and You wanted Your life to become a part of their life just as food eventually becomes a part of who we are. We want You to know that we are grateful for everything, Your death on the cross that made this new Life that we enjoy possible, and the continual gifts that You bring our way on a daily, hourly, even moment by moment basis. We are very grateful for that. We want to partake of Your Life and Your Spirit and partake of the Life that You have called us to. We want to thank You for everything. As we do this, we remember all that You are and all that You continually do day by day for us. Thank You very much for everything, our God. Amen.
