"That He may set him with princes."-Psalm 113:8
    
    Our spiritual privileges are of the highest order. "Among princes" is the place of select society. "Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." Speak of select society, there is none like this! "We are a chosen generation, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood." "We are come unto the general assembly and church of the first-born, whose names are written in heaven." The saints have courtly audience: princes have admittance to royalty when common people must stand afar off. The child of God has free access to the inner courts of heaven. "For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father." "Let us come boldly," says the apostle, "to the throne of the heavenly grace." Among princes there is abundant wealth, but what is the abundance of princes compared with the riches of believers? for "all things are yours, and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's." "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Princes have peculiar power. A prince of heaven's empire has great influence: he wields a sceptre in his own domain; he sits upon Jesus' throne, for "He hath made us kings and priests unto God, and we shall reign for ever and ever." We reign over the united kingdom of time and eternity. Princes, again, have special honour. We may look down upon all earth-born dignity from the eminence upon which grace has placed us. For what is human grandeur to this, "He hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus"? We share the honour of Christ, and compared with this, earthly splendours are not worth a thought. Communion with Jesus is a richer gem than ever glittered in imperial diadem. Union with the Lord is a coronet of beauty outshining all the blaze of imperial pomp.

Giving Thanks
by Dennis Marcoux

Giving thanks encompasses the many ways we can express our feelings of gratitude, appreciation and recognition.  Life is a cycle of events, always changing.  How people express their feelings also changes depending on the events.

In the story book "Adventures of Nutty and Twittles Oh Nuts I Lost My Little Sister", a fun game of hide "n" seek appears to be heading towards a disastrous conclusion.  In the end, Nutty was thankful his sister was found safe and sound.  He was thankful for his friends reassuring words "stay calm we will help you". He was thankful to Mrs. Hoot his teacher for bringing Twittles home.  He expressed his feelings of gratitude by saying he was sorry for not listening to her warnings and promised it would never happen again.

 

During our life, we can be lost and caught up in a circle of doubt.  Especially when we think about what we do not have and believe, we need.  To me giving thanks everyday to God for my family, my friends and my pet dog is the simplest of truths.  This is what gives my life meaning and purpose.
