Tuesday morning, my girls and I were doing school when we heard a knock at the door. It was a precious lady from our church, Mrs. Virginia Gray. (She is a widow and so special to us. As a matter of fact, we live on her parents old homestead.) She said that every Tuesday is her "Thankful Day!" She brought us some Monkey bread just to tell us she was thankful for us. Seriously, I almost cried. So kind and considerate! I thought it was pretty interesting seeing as just that morning I had been talking about James 1:27 and how WE should be taking care of widows, and here she was blessing us!
Kera, Kat, and Kelanie about to eat up the monkey bread!

I am thankful for Godly women in my life who are older and younger than me. I heard someone say once that we should always be looking ahead and following the example of Godly women before us, allowing them to "pull us up" to where they are. Conversely, we should also be looking back towards those younger women and giving them a "hand up" with Godly advice about the stages of life we have already lived through. (Sometimes I find that there are very Godly younger women who inspire me to holiness as noone else can.) I am thankful for all my "God-given girlfriends"!
ReplyDeleteI am in complete agreement Tiffany!!! God brings us through storms so we can give our wisdom, compassion and encouragement to someone else when they are facing a similar storm. Sometimes all we need is a friend to say "You're going to get through this and be ok. Look to Jesus." and to pray with us and for us.
DeleteI thank my God every time I remember you. Philippians 1:3
DeleteI love the idea that the first thing out of our mouths is thankfulness toward another person. I don't think we share that with others enough.
I am thankful for the fact, that even though I don't know what my future holds, I do know that God's hands are the ones holding it. This gives me peace. I am thankful for peace.
ReplyDeletePhilippians 4:6-7niv Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
