Thankful Thursday

September 4, 2014 by Barbara

Thankful

You and I are blessed in so many ways. No matter what life brings, we can always find something to be thankful for. Just look around. Be thankful for that unmade bed. Be thankful for the dirty dishes. Be thankful for the food in your fridge.

Unmade beds, dirty dishes, and fridge food means life. Someone slept in that bed. Be thankful for them. Someone dirtied those dishes. Be thankful for food and drink.

Thankfulness comes from a humble heart. You recognize that you don’t deserve these blessings, yet you are grateful for them. You thank God. You tell your loved ones. You try not to take it all for granted.

Appreciation breeds contentment. And with contentment comes peace. We all want peace in our life.

What are you most thankful for today?

I’m thankful for you, reader. I appreciate that you would take the time to read this blog. It blesses me more than you know!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
 his love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 NIV

 

In His Grace,

Barbara Ann

Welcome!


Hi Friend, Welcome to my corner of the online world, where I write to encourage and give hope. I believe everyone could use a dose of hope from time to time so whether you need hope for your marriage, your closet or anything in between, I hope you find some encouragement here.

Having been through some hard situations, I understand what it's like to live hopeless, depressed, angry and bitter. Until God rescued me in His Love and Grace. In Him, I found an Anchor to keep me safe and secure. My passion is to share how He has rescued me and give others encouragement, as He has for me.
