Dear Lord; Happy Thankful Thursday Father!<\/p>\n
Well Father, this has certainly been a busy few days at phatherphil.org.\u00a0 The response I\u2019ve had to our conversations this week has been quite honestly, overwhelming.\u00a0 I\u2019m so thankful however, to have the Blessing of connecting with so many Brothers and Sisters in Christ this way.\u00a0 The opportunity I\u2019ve been given to share Your Light and Love with others through this ministry is so precious to me, and I\u2019m humbled and honored to do so.<\/p>\n
On that same track Lord, on we go to this week\u2019s Thankful Thursday<\/span><\/em> list!\u00a0 While Your gifts in my life far exceed my meager ability to make note of them, this week I want to give specific thanks to You for:<\/p>\n 181.
