Thankful Thursday ~ Starbucks

“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” ~ Colossians 3:12 (ESV)

I am not thankful for Starbucks for the ‘usual’ reason (although I do enjoy my morning treats of coffee). I wanted to share with you a program Starbucks is running right now. I think we can all be thankful for it; at least us who live in the United States.

If you frequent Starbucks, you may have seen their program “Create Jobs for USA“. I have done a little research to see what truly is behind the program. Starbucks started a fund that will support small businesses in the US to expend and create jobs.

I personally think this is so cool and I have purchased a little wrist-band this morning while getting my morning coffee. Will my donation make a difference? Sure it will. So, if you have someone on your Christmas list you have no idea what to get for them, why not make a donation in their name?

So, this week I am thankful that a big company is trying to make a difference in this country.

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving a link to your Thankful Thursday post below.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: we all can make a difference in someone’s life; let us be His hands and feet in this world.

Love and peace,
Iris

Thankful Thursday ~ Provision

For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ~ 2 Peter 1:11 (ESV)

In the month of October, my friend Lynn at Spiritually Unequal Marriage is hosting Thankful Thursday — come join in…

Ha, and you thought I would no longer be around. I am 😉 — I just have become a bad blogger. Believe me, I have always something to be thankful for — daily.

Today I would like to share with you about God’s provision. Not only did He provide a way back to Himself in Christ Jesus, but also provides daily for my personal needs. Sure there are some ‘wants’ God has not provided as of today. I am content though — this has not always been the case. I truly believe that God will provide for some of the wants in His time. And if not, so be it…

Over the last several months I have changed my daily routine and it has done me good. I think that is why I have not been around much — at least blogging, FB or on Twitter. In my free time I have read a lot, prayed a lot. A great balance to my insanely hectic job 😆 (thankful that no one at my work knows about my personal blog) …

The greatest thing God provides every single day: His Love. Oh, where would I be without it? It is good to know that there is at least One who loves me unconditionally. Even when I mess up, I know that He will never tell me “enough now – I no longer love you” – oh what precious gift…

God also provided some opportunities for me to grow in my photography. I have met some incredible photographers last week. I just wish I could have been at the workshop the full 2 days. Maybe next time 🙂 .

What are you thankful for this week? Care to share? Head on over to Lynn’s blog to add your name to Mr Linky …

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