Thankful Thursday





A special thanks to Iris at Sting My Heart for encouraging us weekly to think about all we should be thankful for. As Christians people truly need to see joy in our lives each day.

I am thankful today that God has a unique and awesome plan for my life.

I am thankful that my back is healing and the pain is now tolerable. The past two weeks certainly caused me to think about all those who suffer daily with sickness or unbearable pain. I pray that God will touch each of their bodies today so they can have a pain free day to experience the joy of the Lord.

I am thankful for the great man of God who serves the Potomac District Council as our Superintendent. He truly hears from the Lord and wants the heartbeat of God to be felt among our churches and pastors.

I am thankful that God has taught me obedience through the years so that I can readily respond to Him when He speaks to my heart.

I am thankful for the lay leaders in our congregation who work so hard. My hubby and I sincerely appreciate each of them for their sacrifice and commitment to our ministry.

I am thankful for the beautiful home God made available to us. The entire process of purchasing that house truly has God's fingerprints all over it.

I am thankful for a son and daughter-in-law who know and respond to the definition of obedience and God's call upon their lives. They are leaving Sunday evening after the truck is packed with their furniture and personal belongings to make a journey back to Evangel University. I am sad that they will again be 1000 miles from home but God has given me a peace about this transition. I know I must trust Him as Brandon and Casey step into the next season of their ministry.


I pray blessings upon you today. May God be with you in strength and power.

  12. I think that we take our health for granted too often. I know that I do.

    I am glad that you have wonderful leadership at the top of your church body.
    Many congregations have wonderful lay-leadership. I am glad that you recognize them publicly like that.

    I know it will be hard for you to have your children so far away, but you can always make a little road trip :)

    Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this week.

    Be blessed today and always.
