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. Unmade beds, dirty dishes, food in the fridge. So much to be thankful for.

Unmade beds, dirty dishes, and food in the fridge mean life. Someone slept in that bed. Someone dirtied those dishes. When I remember to, I will occasionally pray as I clean or wash laundry. Pray for the one who sleeps in this spot. Or pray for the one who wears this shirt.

Thankfulness comes from a humble heart. We recognize that we do not deserve these blessings, yet we are grateful for them. We Thank God. We tell your loved ones. We 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

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.
