ARE YOU STILL THANKFUL?

Welcome to Women of Valour which is about

YOU

experiencing your freedom in Christ, being set free,

experiencing the love of God, and opening your blinded eyes

Isaiah 61:1

Thanksgiving, the holiday, is over. My question is: Are you still thankful? There are other questions I can ask as well like: Did you enjoy the day? Was it a blessing or more like a curse for you? Did you gain more weight to add to what you already feel like you need to lose? Did your family love on each other or fight? Do you just go right into Christmas preparation and all of the frustrations that comes with trying to find the right gift? No matter what your answer is to any of these questions. We need to still be thankful not just on a particular day but EVERY DAY!!!!  

I Thessalonians 5: 16 - 18

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in ALL circumstances; 

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

The message at church today was: "Lord, I thank you". As I sat there listening to the message, I got inspired and started to form this poem in my mind. I thought about the things I am still thankful for.

 Lord, I thank You...

We have been given a gift of love from our Father. Will you receive the gift which is being offered this day to you? If you have not accepted HIS FREE GIFT, you can pray today. Lord, I believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. I speak with my mouth that Jesus is LORD according to Romans 10: 9 -10. If you prayed this simple prayer you NOW have Someone who has come into your heart to show you everything you have to be thankful for. 

*************************

Prayer: Holy Spirit, open my eyes to see the blessings you have given me. Teach me to be thankful for each one of them. Teach me how to speak life and not death in my own life. Show me that YOU REALLY are speaking to me in areas in my life. Give me the boldness to be obedient to act on YOUR directions.

QUESTION:

Are you still thankful?

What are some things you are still thankful for?

I pray something you read touched your heart to walk closer to God.
