What a Friend

Corky_14Read: John 15:12-17

“This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
~ John 15:12 (ESV)

Friendships are vital in our lives. God has blessed me with some incredible friends, near and far. My friends comfort, pray, and encourage me when I need it most.

To read the rest of the devotion, please head on over to Laced with Grace.

Have a blessed Friday and weekend!

Thankful Thursday ~ His Protection

In the month of September the Thankful Thursday community is meeting here at Grace Alone…; my friend Lynn at Spiritually Unequal Marriage will be hosting in October; and my friend Laurie at Women Taking a Stand will be hosting our weekly meme in November.

“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!”
~ 1 Chronicles 16:34 (ESV)

I never have seen an angel, but I believe that God sends them to protect us (Psalm 91:11-12). Once again, it became very evident this past week while driving to work. I am not sure how it is in the area you live in, but here, people do anything but driving. Seriously, people are eating, reading books/maps, shave, put on ‘the face’, text-message, their mind is far from driving. On Tuesday, several times I had to slam the breaks because someone was pulling in front of me. Goodness, I wish people would have their mind on the tasks they are performing (like driving).

Every morning before I get into the car I walk around it, praying for His protection. It may sound silly to you, but it gives me the peace I need to get into the vehicle. Every day I am thankful that He hears my little prayer and answers it.

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share by leaving the link to your thankful post below.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: He is guarding your ways, even if do not see it…
