Thankful Thursday


A calm day...a "normal" day...a day without issues...a day where there was no sadness or tears....That's what I'm thankful for today. So many days "we" (all of us) experience very hard, trying, difficult, heart breaking, hurtful, sad days. You wake in the morning and never know what it will hold. And when you lay your head down at night, one of the blessings of the day is to have all your loved ones still with you..healthy and safe. I've read a few posts lately about deaths/serious injuries/health issues of both young and old. It's painful and it's sad and it's hard. I don't know these people but I have been trying very hard to pray for them and their families. God answers prayers. I'm always so grateful and so touched when someone tells me they pray for me or someone in my family. Today, I feel so blessed. Although I don't know what tomorrow holds if the sun comes up, I do know that if I wake and praise God, serve him, and do his will, it will be a great day.
1 Chronicles 29:13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

One day at a time...that is what I am learning. And in that day will always be a blessing if you look for it, even if the day is full of sadness. You have the right attitude for a joy filled life in the Lord.

I'm just getting around to reading blogs after my brief vacay. You do know that you and your concerns are His concerns also...He loves you and I love you and so that's why we (He and I) talk about you...some call this praying, I call it family, God calls it loving!
