I am Thankful for our Lord Jesus' Example of How we should Live.  I am Thankful God The Father Provided us a Template that we can Imitate.  I am Thankful that we can Strive to Build one another up versus following the world's way of tearing one another down.

My Prayer of Thanks for us today would be to offer up a Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise based on The Holy Spirit's Inspired Word to Paul as Recorded in Ephesians 5:1-2, 19-21 (ESV/emphasis & paraphrase added/jaj)....O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, we Love and Praise You.  Therefore, Lord, Help us to Be Imitators of You, As Your Beloved children.  Holy Spirit, Guide us to Walk In Your LOVE, As our Lord Jesus Christ LOVED us And Gave Himself Up For us, A Fragrant Offering And Sacrifice to God The Father, Making Full Payment for our debt of sin.  Father God, Teach us and Help us to Address each other In Your Psalms And Hymns And Your Holy Spirit's Songs.  Lord Jesus, Help us to Sing And Make Melody To You With our Hearts.  Holy Spirit, May we Forever Be Giving Thanks Always And For Everything.  Oh Father God, Thank You.  May we Ever Lift Up our Prayers and Praise In Your Name, The Name Of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Continue to Guide and Teach us to Ever Submit to one another Out Of Reverence for You, Lord Jesus.....Amen and Amen....jaj
