He is There!

No matter what you are going through, my sweet sister – HE is THERE!!!!

If you are interested in hearing more about the group ‘Tenth Avenue North’ you can visit their site and download their entire album ‘Over and Underneath‘ for just $6.99. I personally believe that ‘Tenth Avenue North’ is the best newcomer group of the year! Their music speaks to my heart…

Power of Christ

Power of Christ

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
~ 2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV)

A Perfect Love

“For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. ” ~ Romans 5:7-9 (ESV)

How often do you use the word ‘Love’ in your daily conversations? I have to admit…

Thankful Thursday
The ‘Little’ Things

“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 (ESVemphasis mine)

I have to be honest, I take often the ‘little’ things for granted. So this week, I thought I will share a list of the ‘everyday-stuff’ that I usually take for granted…

  • Lord, I am thankful that I can come to You every.single.day — every hour of the day/night to bring before You my prayers…
  • I am thankful for my beloved. Although some days I do not understand him, I am thankful that God placed him by my side. I am very blessed…
  • I am thankful that our son still needs me once in a while. Although he no longer lives at home, he calls when he is sick. Makes me feel that I am still needed by him 😛 …
  • I am thankful for my job. Although some days I have to talk myself into getting out of bed to go to work, I do have an income. There are so many in the US right now that do not have a steady income…
  • I am thankful that I am healthy enough to get up every day. There are many who struggle with health issues (um…my beloved). My little aches and pains I experience are only from my age 😆 …
  • I am thankful for friends who, at the drop of a note from me, pray for my personal needs. You know, I often feel like I should not put my own needs before the throne of grace…I know silly, but I rather pray for others…
  • I am thankful for supermarkets. There are many people in the world who do not have that blessing to shop for groceries in a store; they have to grow their own food supplies…
  • I am thankful for coffee…I don’t think that I would make it through a day without a cup, or two, or three…
  • And last, but not the least, I am thankful for my Bible. I can read first-hand the accounts of my Lord and Savior. How He lived, why He came, how he died. There is nothing better than to sit down with the written Word to read the promises of God…

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us in leaving your link below (Thankful Thursdayers only please).

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: don’t take anything for granted — be thankful for the ‘little’ things in your life.

Blessings to you always…
