'Thankfully' Thursday

 

 

Everyone should have this list.

1. If you feel far away from God,

guess who moved?

2. Fear knocked. Faith answered. No one was there.

3. What you are is God's gift to you.

What you become is your gift to God.

4. I am God's melody of life and

He sings His song through me.

5. We can never really go where God is not,

 and where He is, all is well.

6. No matter what is happening in your life,

know that God is waiting for you with open arms.

7. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

8. Do your best and then sleep in peace. God is awake.

9. God has a purpose and plan for me that no one else can fulfill.

10. The will of God will never take you to where

the grace of God will not protect you.

11. We are responsible for the effort, not the outcome.

12. We set the sail; God makes the wind.

13. Begin to weave and God will give you the thread.

14. Sometimes when God says "no",

it's because He has something better in store for you.

15. The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.

16. Prayer: don't bother to give God instructions,

 just report for duty.

17. It's my business to do God's business and

it's His business to take care of my business.

18. Serenity is not freedom from the storm,

but peace amid the storm.

19. How come you're always running around looking for God?

He's not lost.

20. God put me on earth to accomplish a number of things;

 right now I'm so far behind I will live forever.

 

 

Good morning - ***Big Smile***

The older I get the more I think one day just blends into the next .  It's a continual give and take and do.  The 'to do' list is never done...

I know there are actually people who are bored and think they havenothing to do, but I can't remember being one of them.

So this morning I'm sipping that good cup of coffee again and being very thankful the good Lord never lets me be bored.

Have a great Morning and a Blessed Day !

You can’t light a candle to show others the way
without feeling the warmth of its small little flame.
And you can’t pluck a rose all fragrant with dew,
without part of its fragrance remaining with you.

I mean they got tons of stuff for them. shes 86 and complains that they are too old !!!!!!!!!!! Now figure that one out. AND usually people dont visit her too much cuase she complains and gripes about kids and neighbors and has a tendeancy to say things and push your buttons till you bust!!!!!!!
