Thankful Thursday - Lighting Up My Life

So thankful today for things/people that God has placed in my path to help light the way!

  • Chris Reeder - My awesome man is continues to be a wonderful source of strength in my life.  At our wedding reception ten years ago, I sang the old Debbie Boone hit, "You Light Up My Life", directly into his big brown eyes.  The words of that song still ring true today.  I love you KISA!!!
  • Blogs/Twitter - Keeping in touch with my "blogistas" and reading about their own daily struggles and victories is a constant source of encouragement for me. This week I am particularly thankful for: Brandi & Boys, Girlfriends In GodLaurel Wreath, DeedraP, and The Preacher's Wife.  You gals ROCK!
  • Dunkin Donuts Coffee - what can I say???  it OPENS MY EYES every morning!
  • Pandora - loving that I can use this tool as an instrument of praise, and simplistic fun!  Being able to "get my groove on" totally makes the day!
  • Prayer Warriors - just this morning I sent out a "Prayer Warrior Alert" via email, and the responses came flooding in.  So awesome to know that my sweet friends are so faithful in loving me and lifting me up.
  • His Precious Word - IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME!!  No matter what I am going through, or what I have done, He continues to speak to me and guide and direct my every step.  His word is ALIVE and it NEVER FAILS!  Today, I am giving Him praise for Acts 2:1-4 (from our Revolution Church Bible Reading), Job 12:13, and Isaiah 30:15.

 

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name.
~ Psalm 100:4

It's amazing how practising thankfulness and gratitude changes our attitudes and fills our hearts with joy, isn't it?

Not that I thought you needed an attitude adjustment or anything (!), but that's how it works for me and when I notice the benefits of being grateful the most.

I'm so sorry I didn't get your prayer letter sooner (stupid computer), but you can bet you and Revolution Church are in my prayers.
