Thankful Thursday

“In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.” ~ Ephesians 6:16-18 (ESV - emphasis mine)

This passage of scripture is one of my favorites, as it's a great reminder to me of my need to not only daily pray to my Father, but throughout my day, keep my thoughts steadfast on him.

Today I'm Thankful that:

*God know's my name and all the details of my heart, and yet, he chooses to call me his daughter.

*God's love for me is never ending, and never failing.

*God is allowing some of the deep, heart issues to happen in my life. Although I'm experiencing great pain as I release a past friendship God's healing touch is mending my heart.

*God has given me an amazing husband who delights in allowing me to be me. I can discuss the same issue with him...over...and over...and over again, and he patiently listens, prays, and offers such amazing words of comfort.

*God has blessed me with two amazing children. Although my husband and I have fallen short TOO many times to count, God has kept our children faithfully following him.

*God has lead me to an amazing group of woman to fellowship with via a small group. We all come from different walks of life, some married, some single, some divorced, some children, some not. The sweet amazing bond of *sisterhood*....as we sit at the feet of Jesus, is truly priceless.

*God has given me HIS word. Today, our world and churches are so bombarded with theology and thinking that often causes great confusion. Yet, my Jesus has given his word as my road map! PRAISE his name.
