Thinking Thankful Thoughts

 

Psalms 104:34

“My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.”


“I have so many things to thank God for. And O Lord I want to thank you for so many things. For Your love and mercy and all I’m possessing. I lay awake sometimes counting my blessings. These things and more, Lord I thank you for.” 

- Count Your Blessings (Gospel Song)

- Author unknown 


I remember how much I looked forward to hearing Deacon Ezell sing this song. His voice always full of joy and testimony. 


The chorus resonates within me: “I’ve got my sight, and that’s a blessing. Clothed in my right mind, and that’s a blessing…”


As I write this morning, I am thinking thankful thoughts. Sometimes in my sleep the Holy Spirit gives me a song to inform my spirit. A song to comfort my soul. 

 He soothed my soul.

with the memory of this song. 


Thankful thoughts Lord. Let me always have this presence of mind. 


I pray that you will have a day that is filled with

thankfulness. 

No matter what we are facing, despite the troubles in our way, we choose to rejoice. 


Think. 

Thankful.

 Thoughts.


God bless.

In Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
