Today, I am thankful for my ministry.

Being able to share my life and ideas with you has been a great inspiration over the last year. I’m always thinking of new ways to share Christ with the children - not only for their benefit, but so that I can share with you as well.

Thank you God for the creative juices you have flowing through my vains. Thank you for sending new visitors to this website in pursuit of ways to share Christ with their children. Lord, help their needs to be met and that your children will be blessed!

Thank you for reading along these past seven days.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Today I am thankful for the opportunity to serve God in ministry.

I love working in the ministry at my church. Greeting people with a smile when they enter the church as a member of our Hospitality committee. I also love working with the Women’s Ministry and organizing fellowship opportunities for the women of our church.

It’s a pleasure to be able to touch people’s lives with the love of Christ.

Thank you Lord for the opportunity to serve in your earthly ministry!

Today I am thankful for my family.

I’m pretty sure that I have the BEST husband in the entire world. I just love this man and I thank God that He brought us together. We met in college and when we look back on our lives, we always think about how we could have easily gone other colleges - but thank God he ordered our steps!

And I’m also thankful for my 3 wonderful children. They are the light of my life. They are loving, funny, just plain ole adorable and I thank God for His wonderful gift. I am honored to be their mother.

Thank you God for the wonderful gift of my family!

Today was an awesome day. Today, I would like to focus on being thankful for the opportunity to praise and worship God.

In my small group Bible study we are reading the Bible in 90 Days. We’ve been reading about the ordinances of the sacrifices, and how only certain people were allowed into the Holy of Holy.

I don’t think about it often, but it is truly an honor to be allowed into the presence of God. Just to be able to speak with Him and to hear Him speak to me.

I am so thankful for that opportunity. I don’t have to tell anyone else, I can go straight to my Creator and praise, worship, and offer supplications with thankgiving right from my lips to His ears.

Praise God!

Today, I thought I would call my oldest son over to share what he’s thankful for. He’s seven, so this could be interesting.

Here’s what he had to say:

“Food.God.trees.air.bodys.friends.AND   FAMILYS!”

He typed it himself and he’s pretty proud. He put the last part in “big letters so everyone would notice it.”

What are your children thankful for? For a minute, I didn’t think he was going to say his family!

Have your kids share what they are thankful for in our comments section.

We’ve been working on a spirit of gratitude lately. I’ve been extra careful to make sure they are saying thank you to each other and thanking God too.

We’re going to work on our Tree of Thanks this weekend. We make one every year and post it on the wall until the leaves fall off because the tape will not stick anymore. Each leaf has a word or phrase that represents something we are thankful for. I’ll post a picture when we’re done.

Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions in your family? Please share them with us - we’re always looking for new ideas.

“God’s been so good to me. Everyday He’s blessing Me. Take the time to glorify the Lord today!”

Today, I am thankful for God’s provision.

I sat and thought for a minute about where he’s brought my family over the last 8 years and I was just totally amazed.

When we were first married, we had nothing. A sofa that was given to us by one of my co-workers, a chair we were given when a dorm at our old college was remodeled, and a set of mismatched dishes and pots that my parents gave us. We did have some wonderful wedding gift gadgets, but that was about it.

It was such a humbling experience. We were both dillusional and thought that since we’d gone to college, we would be instantly wealthy. But of course, that’s not how it happened.

I remember one time when we only had $5 to last us an entire week. My husband boldly lead me into the grocery store and loaded our basket with eggs (6-pack), bread, lunch meat (that 50 cent, extra thinly sliced kind), a pack of hot dog weiners, spaghetti and a can of tomatoe paste. And we ate nicely that week as we waited for payday.

Those times help me remember where God has brought us from. He’s been with us the entire way, ordaining and orchestrating circumstances to mold us into who He would have us to be. If we never had valley experiences, it would be harder for us to realize when we are on the mountaintop.

So today, I want to thank you Lord for your hand of provision, your favor and loving hand of guidance.

“I have so much to thank God for - so many wonderful blessings and so many open doors. A brand new mercy, along with each new day! That’s why I praise You! For this I give you praise!!”

In the spirit of the season, I thought I would take the next seven days to list 7 things I am thankful for.

Today, I am thankful for peace.

My life has been pretty hectic the past few weeks and I things are finally starting to slow down. Things were so crazy, that I felt soooo overwhelmed and pressured. But I’ve been praying that God will lead and direct me in every area of my life.

After laying all my request at the feet of the Almighty and telling Him how much I need His help, I can say that I’m beginning to have a feeling of peace that passes all understanding.

Everything is still hectic - but I’m not on the verge of losing my mind anymore!

Praise God!
