Thankful Thursday

I am Thankful for PRAYER! It does not matter one bit what I am facing today or what I have done, God is there ready to listen. Prayer is my constant companion and it is so personal to me. What a pleasure to praise God and talk to Him one-on-one and at any time of the day!

I am Thankful for God's Word! It overwhelms me at times when I think of the vast wisdom put in the pages of our bibles. I wish I could say that I am digging in each and every day, but I am trying. Just thinking of the power and authority given throughout the stories and accounts never ceases to amaze me.

I am Thankful for Trials and Obstacles! I believe it is here that we truly find out what our character is and how big our God can come in and do a mighty work.

I am Thankful for Writers. To use a gift that God has given to share with others truly inspires me. There are so many wonderful authors out there I read that teach, encourage and entertain me daily. So many of these wonderful writers are in my side bar. You don't have to open a newspaper, check out a book from the library or even go to a bookstore anymore to find great works in print. You just need internet access!

I am Thankful for Forgiveness! This is hard for me when I have been hurt by someone or something someone has said, yet I expect to be forgiven when I am at fault. I wish that we all could be more like Jesus who forgives so freely! I am working on this one, and pray that if I have hurt any of you reading this in some way, you will also be willing to forgive.
