Thankful Challenge!

So, as you see I'm playing a bit of catch-up on this "Thankful Challenge". Join me!


November 13 -I'm thankful for God's Word which is alive, quick, powerful and able to pierce our very souls. What a blessing to be able to read the Bible and be convicted of sin, while being illuminated to the things of God.


November 14- I'm thankful for the privilege to worship the Lord freely, there are so many Christians in other countries who are being put to death for their faith.


November 15- I'm thankful for my parents, they strived to bring me up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I couldn't be more grateful! I'm thankful for everything they instilled in me, and for the good example they were/are to me.




November 16- I'm thankful for technology! What a blessing to be able to keep in contact with family and friends, and to be able to share our lives with you via this blog! It is amazing how far technology has come, and I'm thankful for it!


I realize I've been a few days behind. Feel free to catch-up with me and post something YOU are thankful for!!

Thankful Challenge- November 12th

As you know, we've been doing this "Thankful Challenge" and posting something we're thankful for each day until Thanksgiving. Will you join us? It's always a good idea to count your blessings, for it's far too easy to focus on the negative.


November 12- I'm thankful for the snow. I don't normally say this, but now that we have it I find it rather relaxing, purifying, and refreshing. As Ecclesiastes says, there's a season for everything. As much as I think I'd enjoy having Summer all year round, it wouldn't be beneficial. The snow has many advantages, one being that it causes us to really stop and when we slow down life, we have more time to reflect upon the things that truly matter. Winter may not be my favorite season, but I certainly realize that it has its place and I'm thankful that God knew what He was doing. ;-)

Happy Winter, Everyone! (and yes, technically in ND - Winter is here)

Lauren - I'm thankful for my wonderful husband. I don't deserve him, and can't even put into words how grateful I am for his love, faithfulness, and support! He truly is everything I ever wanted in a spouse, and SO much MORE! Thank you Lord, for giving me such a wonderful man to love and respect! I love you, Sean!! xoxox

Thankful Challenge-November 7th

What are you thankful for today, November 7th?

I'm thankful for my freedom and pray that it will never be taken away! Freedom isn't free, someone paid the price and I'm forever grateful! I'm thankful for those who have gone before and given their lives for the cause of liberty.
I'm also thankful for my Lord, Jesus Christ, who shed his precious blood on Calvary's cross that I might be free from the penalty of sin! "Sin's curse has lost its grip on me, For I am His and He is mine -Bought with the precious blood of Christ."
