Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Praise God from whom all Blessings flow, and if you are reading this, then you are one of my mine. You are one of my dearest blessings and for you I am grateful. My cup is full, no, it runneth over, and in this season of thanks I am thinking of you and thankful for you and your special place in my life. Consider yourself hugged as you read and loved as you live. May goodness and mercy be all over you today as blessings spill over and cover you!

The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all His works, Psalm 145:9 says, but as one of my Bible drillers once stated that verse, "The Lord is good to all His tender mercies are all over His works!" Just a slight variation on a theme, but it spoke to me. The blessings over all, we may sometimes fail to see if we don't look up and focus on Him, but His mercies all over us get our attention and our gratitude. May we not miss any of what He pours all over us today.

"This I recall to mind, therefore I have hope. Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Thy faithfulness." Lamentations 3:21-23 ....I like that, 3...2...1, or 1...2...3, so counting forward or backward, they are there!

Happy Thanksgiving! I am counting you and you and you...........!

International Mission Board :: Home

International Mission Board :: Home

Wow, what does a mom do when she finds not one, but two of her children featured on the IMB homepage on the same day! Well, she shares it with the rest of the family and a few others who would love to see it, praises God for the blessing that it happened and that she happened to check the site and find it and that her children were serving Him is such a way to have it happen.... and then she decides to blog it???? Shall we capture the moment for continued viewing and sharing? This technology again amazes me.... And in the middle of sharing it with my brother, he delights in getting me to save it to Word on my Computer. How about that .... my kids sharing the Word in Africa, me excited to find their stories recorded in word and picture, my brother directing me to Word.... and once more God weaving all the bits of our lives together, and reminding us to seek Him in His Word and love His Word, and to share it and treasure it, the lamp unto our feet and the light unto our path.
