I lift -up my heart today to say "Thank You Lord for everything received from you....Every minute every hour every day...Every breath that i breath....Every step that i make to walk in this live received out of your hand ....For every strenght you give me to face life trials....For every person you brought my way to encourage or to bright eachothers day! Yes lord every gift received out of your hand is an good gift THANK YOU!

I see this "THANKFUL LIST"making its way to people’s blogs.  It’s definitely worth repeating.  

I am thankful:

• For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato,
  because he is home with me and not out at the bars.
• For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes,
  because it means she is at home, not on the streets.
• For the taxes I pay,
  because it means I am employed.
• For the mess to clean after a party,
  because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
• For the clothes that fit a little too snug,
  because it means I have enough to eat.
• For my shadow that watches me work,
  because it means I am out in the sunshine.
• For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing,
  because it means I have a home.
• For all the complaining I hear about the government,
  because it means we have freedom of speech.
• For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot,
  because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation.
• For my huge heating bill,
  because it means I am warm.
• For the lady behind me in church who sings off key,
  because it means I can hear.
• For the pile of laundry and ironing,
  because it means I have clothes to wear.
• For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day,
  because it means I have been capable of working hard.
• For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours,
  because it means I am alive.
• For the crazy people I work with,
  because they make work interesting and fun!
• For too much e-mail,
  because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.

• For staying up late working from home,
  because of the modern technology that makes it possible.
• For a boss who asks me to go to the office even though I’m tired in the morning,
  because it means I have a job and I’m still needed by the team.
• For the lack of fringe benefits by the company,
  because they are trying to cut cost, so they can still retain me and my co-workers.

What are you thankful for?

THE STAND ~ Sing and Pray with me today~

 

Today's Old Testament Verse

Far be it from us that we should rebel against the Lord, and turn away this day from following the Lord.
Joshua 22:29

Today's New Testament Verse

Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together.
Hebrews 10:24–25

Today's Prayer

Lord of my life, I want to follow you, but my sinful desires often invade my heart. Forgive me for my rebellious actions and attitudes. Keep me focused on you today, and help me to be sensitive to the needs of all your children. Guide me into loving activities that will be encouraging and supportive of others.

 Divine Guide, our heart's desire is to love, serve, and follow you. Stir
us that we may gain a glimpse of understanding today. Speak to our
hearts and assure us of your love. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

Revelation 12:14 (The Message)

 ^13-17When the Dragon saw he'd been thrown to earth, he went after the Woman who had given birth to the Man-Child. The Woman was given wings of a great eagle to fly to a place in the desert to be kept in safety and comfort for a time and times and half a time, safe and sound from the Serpent. The Serpent vomited a river of water to swamp and drown her, but earth came to her help, swallowing the water the Dragon spewed from its mouth. Helpless with rage, the Dragon raged at the Woman, then went off to make war with the rest of her children, the children who keep God's commands and hold firm to the witness of Jesus.
