How often do you lift up your arms to heaven just to say to God- Thank you?

The 1 Grateful Person Tag is based on Luke 19 and the account of Jesus with the 1 out of ten lepers he healed who came back thank him. Let us aspire to be like the 1 who thanked Jesus and not the 9 who did not.
Here are the rules:
- Share what you are grateful to Jesus for:
I am grateful for His unfailing love, and for drawing my heart to children. I am honored to have opportunity to share the Good News of Christ Jesus, and watch His transforming power change young lives.
2-Share a passage from the bible about gratitude that means something to you.
Philippians 1:1,9-11. The first verse begins with “Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.” Then my prayer for the children and the Church is: “I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God” (NLT).
I believe we don’t have a lot of time before the return of the Lord, and I don’t want to see anyone left behind. So once Jesus is received as Lord and Savior, it is vital that we press into maturing in love and godly character. I am thankful for the opportunity to take part in the ministry of encouragement to children and those around me. Sharing His love is the best!
3- Tag whoever you wish to.
4- Please share a link to my original post. 1 Grateful Person Thank you Matthew for tagging me. This is a beautiful idea. ♥
5- Use any picture in your post that expresses gratitude.
6. Share the intro
I am tagging:
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with
joy. Philippians 1:3-4 (KJV).
