Day 14 – Renewable Resources

I am thankful for renewable resources, particularly my mind!

Romans 12: 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. (emphasis mine)
via Romans 12:1-3 NASB – Dedicated Service – Therefore I urge – Bible Gateway.

Morning routine came again this morning and I was just about to say to myself, I am tired of this and then something happened!

SCRIPTURE!

ABBA’s Word renewed my mind and my tongue and my attitude. I am a grateful woman. Grateful for a renewable mind which brings a renewed tongue and renewed attitude –  a redeemed day, a redeemed life.

Are you thankful for renewable resources, particularly your mind?  :)

Have a renewed Monday!!

Day 13 – Family

I am thankful for family. And in this particular moment for a GRAND. He’s 9 and he’s standing at my elbow as I type reminding me how important family is. How blessed we are with children and grandchildren, sisters and brothers, moms and dads (either here on earth with us or waiting in Glory).

As Logan said, families have their ups and downs but LOVE holds us together. He’s right. LOVE is the life-blood of the family and the giving of thanks keeps love flowing – there will be no clogged arteries for those with thankful hearts. :)

Ephesians 3:14-16 New International Version (NIV)
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
16 I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,

Day 12 – Saturday

I’m thankful for Saturdays. Especially quiet slow to start Saturdays. Saturdays that refresh you, like a ‘computer reboot’ – a start over. :)

We all need those from time to time and Saturdays are a great day for that — at least this one has started that way.

So enjoy your Saturday and know I am thinking of you and asking the HOLY SPIRIT to make Himself known to you with blessings, rest, peace and all the provisions you can imagine.

Lamentations 3:22-24 Amplified Bible (AMP)
22 It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness.
24 The Lord is my portion or share, says my living being (my inner self); therefore will I hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.

Day 11 – Made Beds

Seriously.
As I was making the bed this morning I thought to be thankful. Thankful for many things reflected in the making of a bed, ours in particular. And mingled in all those thankful thoughts was this Scripture text.

John 5: 8 Jesus said unto him, “Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.” via John 5 KJ21 – After this there was a feast of the – Bible Gateway.

The making of a bed indicates its sleepers have arisen. That one action alone is brimming with reasons to give thanks. Such as health and well-being to actually get out of bed, pull up the covers, fluff the pillows, smooth out the comforter and pile on the animals.  :)   Blessings, privileges, graces, are just about endless that come to mind making one’s bed.

And then the Scripture. Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. Don’t you know the man who had been crippled for 38 years was jubilant to make his bed.  He was later found in the temple.

Let us rise from sleep, make our beds and our lives count for JESUS. He is so worthy!

Our love to you all.  Plan on enjoying the weekend, investing in activities that will earn eternal reward.

Colossians 3:23-25 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men,
24 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done, and there is no respect of persons.
