Thankful Thursday ~ Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2006

Oh come, let us sing to the LORD;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the LORD is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!
For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,
when your fathers put me to the test
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.
For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
and they have not known my ways.”
Therefore I swore in my wrath,
“They shall not enter my rest.”
~ Psalm 95 (ESV)

Thankful Thursday ~ Mercy


What Sting My Heart is thankful for this week

“But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.
Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies—make straight your way before me. ~ Psalm 5:7-8

  • I am thankful for God’s infinite mercy. No matter how often I mess up — He still loves me…
  • I am thankful for our son, Daniel. Although he is a pain in the rear, sometimes, he is a great kid (okay – young adult). He is taking time this up-coming weekend to visit a dying friend in California. His friend was diagnosed with cancer back in High School and now is in the last stages. This might be his last birthday…He is only 22. Our son likes to display a ‘tough’ image of himself, but his heart is like butter – especially when it comes to his friends. I think he will be a great dad one day…
  • I am thankful for the on-line community. Thank you ladies for your prayers for our son for safe travel and for Daniel’s friend in California…Days like yesterday are days when I ask God “Why?”…
  • I am thankful for my Sweetheart — I love it when he cooks us dinner. Tuesday night he made his famous chicken Quesadilla and last night hamburgers…
  • I am thankful that Darlene is allowing me to host “In Other Words” once a month. And I am thankful that Laurel will be hosting the second one of the month…I am excited about this opportunity. The rest will be still hosted by CWO
  • I am thankful for Ann’s really cool Advent Devotional. It gave me an idea. But to reveal that idea you have to come back on the 21st. All I say it has to with witnessing…
  • I am thankful for the cooler weather. It is in the upper 50’s in the morning and warms up to the higher 70’s/lower 80’s. Yup, wearing my jacket in the morning 😛

What are you thankful for today? Would you care to share with me and my readers? I really would love to hear from you today :razz:.

Blessings on your day and always…
