Thank the Lord Thursday- Our country

This morning I am feeling thankful. I'm thankful that in the last couple of days I have been able to write about God, about abortion, about many other things that in some countries, I could be arrested for talking about. Although, it is easy to see the decline in our country, and it can often make me feel discouraged, or even afraid, as of today, we are still free!!

Let's remember to be thankful for that, and to be thankful for the many men and women who have lost their lives for this to be possible. Let's enjoy our freedom, while it still exists, and allows us to speak about and fight for what we believe in. Let's also pray for a revival in our nation that will allow that freedom to continue.

If you have something you are thankful for this morning, write about it, and send me the link. Or just leave your thoughts in my comments. I'd love to hear about the things that you are all thankful for. Feel free to use my picture, if you write a post. Just make sure you link it back to me. Thanks everyone......and God Bless America!

Thank the Lord for my Children

Thank the Lord Thursday

I've decided to dedicate Thursdays as a day when I choose something that I am truly thankful for. I hope that you will join me. Of course every day we should be thankful....."rejoicing always in all things!", but it doesn't hurt to take a special day for it. I wanted to use this picture of my little ones praying for this because nothing touches my heart more than the prayers and thankfulness of my children! In Matthew 18:4 Jesus told his disciples when they were arguing over who would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.". Children pray with such humility. It seems to be instinctive for them to approach the Lord as their Daddy and friend.

So, join with me each week in finding something you are particularly thankful for. Even small things are great blessings in our lives! Don't neglect the small things, but feel free to mention the large things too.

Today I am feeling thankful for the fact that my children enjoy being together and playing together! I had a picture for this as an example, but I haven't yet figured out how to post pictures at the end of or in the middle of a post yet. I had a picture of my son Owen playing with his baby sister while he was in the pool. I'm so grateful that my children are growing up to be friends with each other. Of course they fight on occassion, but they are always playing together, not because they have to, but because they like too. Not to mention how much the older ones enjoy playing with the babies and toddlers. It is truly a blessing!
