Join Lynn and friends in giving Thanks today. Lynn asks how do you serve the Kingdom?
Five things I am thankful I get to do today. Won't you join in and find the things you are thankful for today!
- Today, I am thankful that I get to spend time with Jesus. I purposefully set aside my morning, to dwell in His presence...to pray, read His WORD, and listen intently to what He's saying to me for today. Keeping in step with Him. (preparation to serve :))
- Today, I get to pray for a huge list of people; who need healing, who need help navigating through some very tough situations, who are grieving, who are hurting, who are lonely, who need salvation, who just need JESUS! (serving by storming heaven)
- Today, I am thankful that I get to spend lunch time with my bible study buddies. Thursday's we get together, and talk about what Jesus is doing in our lives at this moment. We share our trials and our triumphs, pray together and study together. We are sojourners in this race...running along side each other to get the crown, a crown that lasts for eternity.(serving Christians in the workplace)
- Today, I am thankful I get to go to work at a good job with good benefits and I work with some of the best people ever. Huge hearts, ready to help in an instant. These same people can at times be obstinate, hard headed, stiff necked brutes(humans like me that need Jesus)...but then you see them move out of compassion, and it's sets it all right. (serving at work)
- Today, I am thankful I get to choose how I will respond to my day...and today it will be with MUCH gratitude, for I am greatly blessed. I will praise my God, and give Him all the Glory! Be at rest once more O my soul, for the LORD has been good to me. Ps. 116:7

isn't it a joy to be thankful??
please add my Father-in-law to your prayer list - (Jimmie Herring). My husband is on the way to MD Anderson with him right now for testing to begin tomorrow. He has a malignancy in his bile duct into his pancreas. Please pray!
A great list... Amen.
