I lift up my grateful heart, because counting my blessings keeps me focused on the RIGHT things. Remember to count them everyday. This week join Iris and share in the thankfulness.
I am blessed by sharing scripture memory, and my new verse is:
Ps. 18:28 You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light
I am blessed to learn that Beth Moore will be doing her scripture memory on her blog , beginning in January. It is the most incredible thing when many hundreds join in and post their verse; talk about filling up on some good stuff, by the time you are done with one page of comments your mind is totally renewed!
The Lord blessed my socks off on Monday during our Christmas luncheon at work with my biblestudy sista's. He gave me an idea for simple gifts for the 7 of them, but I kept thinking it was corny...and actually put off getting them ready until Sunday..and when I pulled them out..I was blown away...it was totally of HIM and I HAD to do it. I still wondered up until the moment I handed them out... but He moved, tears flowed, and I was in AWE. WOW does He ever have the best ideas! Thank you Jesus for blessing me by allowing me to partner with you!
Tuesday night was my granddaughters first Orchestra concert. They have only been playing for 4mos. and we were totally amazed! 260 stringed instruments...all in perfect timing and rhythm...Amazed I tell you! She was beaming on stage, she plays the Bass. I was wiping the tears and so was my daughter!! Proud moments!! Thank you Jesus for incredible Orchestra teachers!!
Thank you Jesus for good news for several of those on my prayer list, Connie is doing very well since her surgery! Thank you for hearing our prayers.
Thank you Jesus for blessing me with a man so SWEET! Thank you for allowing Him to experience YOU talking directly to Him. He was so stunned, He laughed out loud, and when he got home..He had to run it by me to get my thoughts...I said "That is SOOOO GOD!"
Thank you Jesus for the midnight phone call..the prayer offered up in faith for the one on the phone - Break the chains, heal the burns, clear the lungs..set her free to worship and follow hard after you LORD. Thank you Jesus for the words to calm her heart!
Jesus...YOU ROCK! You are MY ROCK and I will give you PRAISE FOREVER!! Thank you Jesus for blessing us that we can bless others.
