It's been so encouraging to see y'all's 'thankful' posts. Thank you for sharing them!

Today, as while working on my Bible study and memory verses, I thought it would be cool to go through some of my recent memory passages and give thanks for some of the things directly mentioned in the verses.

Thank you, God, for...
* Forgiveness of sins through His name (Acts 10:43)
* Training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16)
* Eternal life (Titus 1:2)
* The great blessing of knowing Christ (Philippians 3:8)
* Gladness through His presence (Acts 2:28)
* God's perfect patience (1 Timothy 1:16, 2 Peter 3:9)
