“And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'”
~ Matthew 26:27-28 (ESV)
Since today is Maundy Thursday, I thought I write my thankful post a little different. It will be thankful note to my Savior, Christ Jesus…
- Thank you Lord for being obedient to the Heavenly Father…
- Thank you Lord for your indescribable love for all who believe…
- Thank you Lord for caring the cross to Golgotha…
- Thank you Lord for shedding your blood for all our sins…
- Thank you Lord for the cup of redemption…
- Thank you Lord for the gift of the Holy Spirit…
- Thank you Lord for finishing the task at hand…
- Thank you Lord for saving us…
- Thank you Lord for never leaving our side…
- Thank you Lord for that you are alive and active in our lives…
- Thank you Lord for raising up beautiful women around the blogsphere, who are not afraid to proclaim you Holy name…

Thank you for the reminder that today is Maundy Thursday. We used to be part of a church that held a Maundy Thursday service, but since we’re no longer there I forget about it. I’ve posted a scrapbook layout featuring a Maundy Thursday service. There’s a line in the song “In Christ Alone” that is so powerful – “Til on that cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied. For every sin on Him was laid, here in the death of Christ I live.”
I love reading all your reasons to be thankful.
I loved your list! God bless you!
Wow, great list! And what a great idea!
I love your site…plan to visit it regularly!
Blessings!
What a beautiful list! I am going to go work on mine now! Blessings to you, Iris! I just love to read your posts!
I love this list. It brings to light all that this day and weekend means.
I did my list a little different today as well…loved yours!
Im thankful for all those as well.
I didn’t go nearly as deep as some of you did, but I’m very thankful for what I wrote about. 🙂 I enjoyed reading what you all wrote!
This list is so good! Blessings as you celebrate Easter Sunday!
Thank you for sharing with us your love of our Savior.

Amen!!!! and Praise God for everyone of those things. Easter is such a wonderful Holiday for remembering how much God loves us isn’t it? Thank you Lord for your steadfastness and faithfulness. Praise God for his Mercy and Grace….
Thank you for sharing your list.
praise God. i am soo thankful for our Lord.
Amen to this list. Amen. I put my link up over at Beckies. Wishing you many blessings..
I so needed this today. Sometimes when the wall is to high to jump over–sometimes it is easier to stack one praise at a time on top of the other and then just walk up and over.
Awesome list Iris! 🙂
This scripture came to mind…”I am so thankful to Yeshua Messiah”;
“But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.”
(Hebrews 2:9)
I did my first Thankful Thursday post today. I really need to remember to be thankful every day, but this is a good start! 🙂
a popular and meme I see! And what wonderful posts for 13! I will have to join one of these days! Iris, I am always blessed when I visit your blog! Thanks for having a heart for the net!

Wow Iris,
You have got quite a list going here of links. How cool is that!!! 🙂
I almost did one like this today, but I’ve just been focussing so much on the frustration of kids that I decided after a long convrsation with God that I’d focus on them today. 🙂
Grace & Peace
