Hello Ladies and Happy
Thanksgiving
Note: I
actually wrote this on Thanksgiving Day, but in all the madness of cooking and
fellowshipping I didn't get a chance to upload. Nonetheless everything still
applies :)
I woke up this morning and it felt like
Christmas...I have been give so much. Ladies, WE have been given so much. Let
us dig deep today ladies, and not only thank God for what we can see but for
what He has done spiritually. When we really think about our blessings...our
family, our friends, our health, careers, our life, etc. we can see God working
though every nook and cranny of these areas.
He is the glue that holds us together and keeps
us going each day, even when we feel as though we're not going to make it
through. He is our comforter when words cannot explain what we are feeling. He
grips us and never lets us go, even when we wander from His presence. He is our
source, the love of our life! Let us thank God for those things.... for His
unchanging nature. Think how our life would change if even for a split second
God changed, or if He withdrew His love.... scary huh. So lets pour out
thanksgiving for where we are currently because of his grace and mercy, and for
his presence that was inserted in us when His son breathed His last. And for
him being just being God.
Have some quite time in the midst of all the
craziness that is thanksgiving and worship God. Worship him for the special
unique gifts that he has given you. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 explains that we are
all given gifts unique to us. Verse 11 exemplifies that God has gifted us
individually. He doesn't give out random gifts that he "hopes" will
fit us. He knows it will. You might not know what the gift is at this current
time, but praise Him anyway for placing something big inside (God doesn't give
small gifts). Thank Him for giving you the opportunity to be a blessing to
someone else, to help build His kingdom.
Thank God for the tough times, the hard times,
and the times it felt as though you we're being crushed. It was in those times
that your faith was strengthened, and you were drawn closer to Him. You
realized that you needed Him the most, and your life should be centered around
Him.
Spread your wings ladies, you'll be amazed at what you can do once you take flight...
