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.

Refreshment for the Soul

“Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
~ Psalm 37:1-4 (ESV)

Some mornings I grumble to the Lord these words:
“Lord, I am tired. I really don’t want to get ready this morning. Every day is the same. People grumble. They are always angry at someone…”

Be blessed today and always…
