Thankful Thursday ~ Peace

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. ~ John 14:27 (ESV)

In the month of September, my friend Laurie at Women Taking a Stand is hosting Thankful Thursday — come join in 😛 …

Laurie chose a beautiful theme — Slow Down…or His peace. Oh, am I thankful for His peace indeed. You know, one of the things I took away from ‘being intentional’ (thank you Elisa for last year’s 8 in 2008) taking time to sit at Jesus’ feet. I have not been faithful on a daily basis this year – and it showed. I often was frustrated, my soul was downcast, I was just not myself…

God showed me that I needed the time with Him. Although I had spent my time with ‘good’ things; they were not things I truly needed. Although I am still exhausted (need a vacation – lol), my priorities are back where they should have been all along…

My sweet friend — slow down, take time to sit at His feet. Your heart will be thankful…I know mine is.

Thank you for stopping by today…Be blessed today and always…
