This month I have been very intentional about my offering of thanks in this season of Thanksgiving. On Facebook, I am participating in 30 Days of Thankful and am posting each day one thing that I am thankful for during November. It has been so good for me…forcing me to really ponder on the things for which I am thankful.
My friend, Melinda, posted her own ABC’s of Thanksgiving over at her blog and it so touched me that I thought I’d follow her lead and do the same.
The ABC’s of Thanksgiving……..
Beautiful AUTUMN leaves, falling to ground in a cascade of color
The BIBLE, my map, textbook, love letter, and source of wisdom.
My friend, CINDY, who knows a lot about me and loves me anyway.
Yummy chicken and DUMPLINGS that we had for Thanksgiving lunch. I made them from my grandmother’s recipe and in her antique pot.
The EXTRAVAGANT grace and mercy that the Lord lavishes on me each and every day.
The FREEDOM that we enjoy in America. Freedom to live, freedom to worship, freedom of speech, freedom to bear arms, and so much more.
My husband, GREG, who certainly deserves some sort of award for putting up with me.
The precious HOLY Spirit who abides within me and guides me…if I will allow.
Wonderful IN-LAWS who have blessed me so much over the years that I have been part of their family.
JESUS, JESUS, JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!
One day I will live in the KINGDOM of heaven where there will be no more tears or sorrow or evil. Can’t wait!!
God’s unfailing LOVE.
My MOTHER, Barbara, who loves me in spite of me.
My NEPHEWS, Parker and Coleson, who make being an aunt so much fun.
O Holy Night!! Love that song.
The to-die-for PECAN pie that my friend, Joy, blessed me with this week. She knows it is one of my favorite desserts.
QUIET time with the Lord each morning. How precious and vital it is to me.
The ability to READ. It is something that many of us take for granted, yet there are millions of people all over the world who cannot do it.
Slipping between clean SHEETS in the bed.
Beth Moore’s study of the Old Testament TABERNACLE – A Woman’s Heart, God’s Dwelling Place.
Living UNDER grace, rather than law.
The wonderful VARIETY of people in the body of Christ. I love interdenominational worship and ministry.
WAYNE Colwell, my precious daddy whom I miss so much since he went to heaven to be with Jesus.
The fact that I no long consistently eXIST in a pit of sin. Thank you Jesus!!
YOU….my blogging friends and readers. You bless me!!
The ZEAL that the Lord has given me for Him and His Word.
God bless you, my friends and readers.
