“When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.” ~ Mark 6:34 (ESV)
Good evening Ladies 🙂 – How was your week? I hope that you had a great one. Although I had my ups and downs this past week, the Lord truly has been teaching me quite a few things about compassion…
- Thank You Lord for teaching me through Your Word about compassion. I am grateful that You constantly work on my heart so I can see things Your way…
- Thank you my dear friends that you have not passed judgment on my post about fear I had published last Sunday at Laced with Grace…
- Thank you Linda and Mama Bear for the wonderful awards you have graced Sting my Heart with this past week…I was blown away since I haven’t been blogging this much. I will make sure that I will pass on these awards in the up-coming week…
- Thank You Lord for quiting my heart today. I was a little up-set that much is expected to be completed. You reminded me that I honor You by doing my work with the cheerful heart (and don’t grumble so much…)…
- Thank You Lord for showing Your compassion to “On the Rock” and her beloved. Thank You for gracing her family with a little baby boy…
- Thank you my beloved Sweetheart – you are a gem! I know that I don’t make sense sometimes and you don’t always understand me…but you still love me…
- Last but not least…Thank you my dear readers of Sting my Heart. Without you, Thankful Thursday would not be what it is…

As always Iris, I am very thankful for this opportunity to really think about God’s blessings this week. You are a blessing to many people.
Thanks again, Iris, for starting this, and for sharing the beautiful things our Lord is doing in your heart. Be blessed.
Iris, Thank you for the reminder of that wonderful verse from Mark. I needed to be reminded of that.
Without God’ great compassion where would we be?! Praise Him! Thanks for Thankful Thursday! It’s so good to have a weekly reminder!

Good Morning Iris,
“HAPPY THANKFUL THURSDAY” to you. I am working on my “THANKFUL THURSDAY” right now and will have it posted in a little while. I too, have have trouble sometimes having compassion. It is so hard at times, but most of the time I do have compassion. I always try my best to have a Cheerful Heart. “THANK YOU” for sharing your “THANKFUL THURSDAY” with us. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.

Dear Iris,
Thanks for continuing this great work. I love the discipline of sitting down and making a list of the ways in which God has blessed my life. I pray you feel His loving arms surround you each day as you count your blessings.
Shalom, Kim

I forgot to leave YOU a comment – thanks for listening to God’s voice each week as you choose a theme and verse. This exact verse has been impressed on my heart three times so far this week. Think God might be talking to me? 🙂
Wonderful list – happy Thankful Thursday!
This is a great topic. Thank you!
Your post just quiets my spirit. Thank you for sharing this Iris.
I almost missed this week. I have been busy today. Wanted to tell you I love your post and Thank You again for Hosting. I have had a few ups and downs this week also and am glad I came here! Thanks!
Thank you for hosting Thankful Thursdays. It is so inspiring to read what others have to say, and to post what I’m thankful for, too.
I really enjoy reading yours. God bless.
It scares me when I recall where I have left my life slip…I am thankful for God’s compassion. And I’m thankful for you and TT. Have a beautiful week. Oh and another thing: oftentimes, forcing ourselves to go around our daily tasks with a thankful attitude, makes us smile trully in the end. Thank you.
I’m so very glad that I stumbled across this meme! Thanks for hosting it!
I’m so thankful for you! I feel I’m getting to know you a little bit more each week.
One question about TT… are we supposed to follow your lead in the choice of the word? I’ve noticed some do and some don’t. It’s taken me a few weeks for this light to click on and notice that.
thank you for hosting Thankful Thursday. God bless!
Compassion…He’s been working on me in that area also in the past few weeks. He is good.
Hi Iris. it me again. Mama Meji aka ZAM. I have a blog bling for you at VERB.

Thank You Iris for hosting TT. Have a blessed weekend.
