Thankful Thursday ~ Random

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.” ~ Psalm 28:7 (ESV)

No special thoughts this week, because my brain is on overload over the last couple of weeks. Today I just want to thank my Lord for the His work in my life and for the things around me…

  • Thank You Lord for never giving up on me. I praise You that You always seem to find someone or something that will lead me back on the narrow path…away from the path of destruction…
  • Thank You Lord for the beautiful spring weather we are still enjoying here in Arizona…
  • Thank You Lord for showing me what I needed to get rid off in my life so I am able to fix my eyes on eternal things again…
  • Thank You Lord for lifting my spirits. It was so wonderful to have Daniel home for a couple of hours this past weekend…
  • Thank You Lord for the quality time my beloved and I had over this long weekend. It was wonderful to smile and even laugh again…
  • Thank You Lord for Your incredible mercy and grace…The only thing I can do is praise Your name because of it…
  • Thank You Lord for my mom who always will have an encouraging word for me…
  • Thank You Lord for wonderful girlfriends in God who are patient, loving and praying…I wouldn’t know what I would do without Your servants who are willing to reach out to the hurting…
  • Thank You Lord for music. Worship music is the best thing that will get me through a workday…
  • Last but not least – Thank You Lord for preachers and teachers that are willing to share Your Word with all of us who are willing to listen…

Thankful Thursday ~ Honesty

“Whoever gives an honest answer kisses the lips.”
~ Proverbs 24:26 (ESV)

Sorry ladies that I am a little late tonight – was looking for a dress for our anniversary, without success *sigh*. Why do they not sell dresses at a place you can afford, but sell dresses in places that your budget is not cut out for…I wonder…

So, I better get started with my short Thankful post tonight (still got to cook dinner for my beloved…)

Honesty – what a wonderful word. God is real honest with us – even when His honesty is hurtful sometimes…So, this week I am thankful for honesty and honest people…

  • Lord, thank You that I am able to come to with an honest heart. That I can pour out all my tiredness, fears, confusions. I love when I am honest to You, You always seem to give me an answer in one way or another…
  • Lord, I am thankful that when I confess my sin with an honest heart, You forgive me…
  • I am thankful that I can be honest with my husband. When I am hurting emotionally, he listens – that is HUGE to me…
  • I am thankful for friends that are honest with me. If I mess up something that they let me know that I have messed up — in a loving way…
  • …and I am thankful that they forgive me too…
  • I am thankful that I can be honest with my readers here at Sting my Heart. I do not have it (life) always together. But you don’t mind if I write what is on my heart. Although I go to my Lord with most of my issues, it sometimes is good to just type it out…
  • I am thankful for honest merchants and clerks…

What are you thankful for this week? Would you care to share? If you have written your own Thankful post, please link up below. But like I had mentioned last week, please make sure you link to your blog or your Thankful Thursday post. Mr. Linky sometimes keeps information from your previous link-up, so it drops in the information automatically. Thank you…

Also, please keep your eyes open for a giveaway next week. My beloved and I will celebrate our 25th anniversary on May 20th. I thought it would be nice if you celebrated with us – celebrate marriage 🙂 .

Thank you for stopping by tonight/today. And remember the passage from above “Whoever gives an honest answer kisses the lips”…Be blessed today and always.
