Yes? And?
It is preaching to the converted as far as Christians are concerned.
People of other faiths, such as Judaism and Islam, might disagree about the nature of Jesus but accept the central point (thanking God for whatever it is we are supposed to be grateful for).
Agnostics might say, "Well, yes, that sort of summarises one particular religion but doesn't prove anything other than what that particular religion believes."
Atheists are more likely just to dismiss it as no more fiction than any other religion! Some might even insult you or your faith for it, but that helps no-one, least of all themselves.
.... So not really very helpful. All you've done is tell us what we already know, that you have a certain set of spiritual beliefs and you find it hard to accept others have different spiritual ideas or indeed none.
