Feeling Thankful...

Colossians 3:15-17

15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.


I just wanted to write up a quick post today about how I've been feeling the last few days... The big word that sums it up? Thankful.


God has been doing so many amazing things in my life and in our home. I just can't help but tell it! : )


Psalm 9:1-2

1I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

2I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.


I've been reading a great book that deals a lot with just trusting the Lord, resting in Him and His plans. There is no better place to be. It has been wonderful to see Him work and see His blessings.


Psalm 105:1-3

1O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.


I just want to thank the Lord--for everything. He's causing my family and I to grow in every circumstance. Thank you!


1 Thessalonians 5:18

18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.


And, of course, I'm ever thankful for the most special gift ever given--celebrated especially this weekend.


John 3:16-17

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.


Ephesians 2:1-9

1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

What are you thankful for today?
