Thanksgiving

Luke 17:12-19

If you were to list every single thing you would like to thank the Lord for, how long would your list be? I challenged myself for a few months to list something new in my journal every day. I didn't run out of things to thank Him for. Here are just a few things I thank Him for this year.
