“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” ~ Colossians 3:12-14 (ESV ~emphasis mine)

Wow – another week almost gone by…Where does the time go? I think I need to write down how I spend my free time 😉 .

Wow – God has been amazing in expanding Thankful Thursdays…we almost hit 100 last week. It is so hard to keep up with you all, but I will try my very best this week…

So, I better get going on my Thankful post…

• Lord, I am thankful for Your loving kindness. For giving me new life in Christ Jesus. Lord, help me to see the needs of others so I can pass on Your loving kindness to others…
• I am thankful for Greg from ‘Mugs of Truth‘. Greg contacted me couple months ago if I had an idea for a more female looking mug and a verse I would like to see on it. Well, this is what he did with my suggestion:
  
• I am thankful for my beloved. When I am down because of things happening in my life; he always cheers me up with kind words. Thank You Lord for placing him by my side…
• I am thankful for friends that stand by me – no matter what. They offer their prayers and loving kindness…
• I am thankful that the Lord is teaching me to not only be kind to family and friends, but also to perfect strangers…
• I am thankful for my friend Laurel, who was kind enough to link up to Mary Pierce. Mary was even kind enough to link me up to a book she wrote that was translated into German. I will have my mom ship it to me…
• And last but not least, I am thankful for Tracy for her kindness to step in while Angie is taking a Sabbatical from Laced with Grace…

“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”
~ John 16:13-14 (ESV ~ emphasis mine)

Normally I share a list with you each week what I am thankful for. This week, I want to share something totally different. Although there are many things that I am truly thankful for, but tonight I want to introduce you to the most amazing kid I have ever met in my life.

Although I have never met Brent in person (he is with the Lord now) – his witness has given me a glimpse of our Lord’s Spirit. On Monday night I was a little down because work is robbing me of quality time I’d rather spend with family and friends. I was so exhausted that I didn’t even feel like turning on my laptop. I just wanted to ‘veg out’.

But I ended up turning my laptop on; checking email messages. I had a comment from Tonya – so I ventured over…Tonya was sharing ‘Miracle Monday’. It just so happened that I kept clicking links and ended up on a post that Tonya wrote on the 17th of March. I know that I meant to read her ‘Miracle Monday’ post from over two weeks ago…

That night I ‘met’ Brent. I knew about him – his fight with cancer. BUT I didn’t know Brent. I read Tonya’s journal from the middle of December 2006. I laughed, I cried, I giggle, I sighed. I just could not stop reading. It was sad, but beautiful. The post that made me sob like a little baby was Tonya’s account on how her sweet Brent prayed over her, instead Tonya praying over Brent (journal entry from December 23rd 2006).

So today, I want to thank our Lord that He has directed me to read Brent’s journal. I know that it was something I needed to read Monday night. About hope, love, witnessing to others. What His Spirit can do through us – if we allow Him to. Brent was His vessel to testify about God’s Glory; about His love for everyone…

“Lord of Heaven and Earth. Thank You for guiding me to click on links Monday night. Thank You for having Tonya keep the journal on-line so that anyone can read the journey of Your willing servant Brent. Lord, continue to give comfort to Tonya and her family, because Brent is missed among them. I am praying in the precious name of my Lord and Savior, I pray in Jesus’ name. ~ Amen”…

Tonya – thank for allowing me to share about Brent on my blog for Thankful Thursday. My dear readers – if you ever have some time, please read some of Brent’s journey.

Thanks for stopping by today – and remember: allow His Spirit to work through you, be His willing vessel to testify about Him…
