Thanksgiving musings

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. 
Ephesians 3:20-21 {NIV}

I am so grateful.  I know... it's Thanksgiving Day.  Who isn't grateful?  But this is about more than just a holiday.  I think every year this verse becomes more and more real and awesome to me.  This verse has come true for me so many times.  Sometimes I prayed about something and when it actually happened, it was actually more than I even imagined.  Every time that has happened, I'm just blown away again... and I wonder why I'm so surprised and amazed.  Have I doubted that God is able?  

But looking ahead, I think it's harder.  I'm praying about something... and knowing God is the God he is, I'm praying for big things... things that are almost beyond my understanding.  And then I think about it that this verse is still true.  I can pray about the biggest things I can imagine and dream the biggest dreams I can dream, and I've been promised that God is able to do even more than that... even above and beyond that.

Okay so those are just some things that have been rolling around in my head for the past while.  Now that I got them out, I don't know if it makes sense at all... but there it is anyway.  Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
