Just say "thank you" for a gift! Ephesians 2:8

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
     Today, in Ephesians 2: 8 " God saved you by his grace when you believed.  And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God."
      Wow!  Pretty powerful.  When someone gives you a gift what do you say?  I have preached to my daughters all you have to do is say 'THANK YOU' for what is being given.  There is usually a reason someone wishes to bestow a gift upon you, and your response should be THANK YOU!  
    People tend to think how can I repay you, or how can I work for you to make this up, or just how in the world can I repay you?  We do the same with God.  We think we have to work for our salvation.  Wrong, ole wise one!  The gift of salvation is a GIFT!!  Works is a result of our salvation and comes later.  All we need to do is respond to God with gratitude, praise, joy, and a big THANK YOU.
    Do this, then let others see Jesus in you as you walk today.  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
