Knit One, Purl Two

Leave a comment

A ball of yarn, knitting needles, and the woman who taught me to knit – for these I am giving thanks today.

I am reminded here that Scriptures admonish the older women to teach the younger women; however, in this case, it was a younger woman who taught me to knit. I am grateful.
When I start a new project or often when I just pick up the needles to continue on, I think of her and give thanks. 

The gift of teaching, the ability to teach, and the opportunity to teach, all are reasons to give thanks. 
And so I am today.

The Fragrance of a Friend

Leave a comment
and a treasured friend who didn’t just give me a bouquet from her garden but dug up a bush so we could replant it in our yard and enjoy the beauty and fragrance for perhaps years to come.

I am thankful.

Proverbs 17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.  source 

There’s much more wisdom found at Proverbs 17 if you please.

It’s a Flush

Indoor Plumbing

Yep. I am thankful for indoor plumbing and sewer systems.
You see I am old enough to remember life before our family had indoor plumbing. 
I say our family because indoor plumbing came to society long before it came to our house. For a bit of toilet history, click HERE.

Now. Because this is supposed to be a Christian Blog I am inclined to make a spiritual application here.
And it’s not as difficult as one might think. 

Refuse. Waste. 

Life without JESUS as LORD and SAVIOR is a waste. 
The unsaved may accomplish much; they may have the accolades of the world and they may give many dollars to benefit mankind but what do they have when their life is flushed – if they die without JESUS? 

Matthew 16 NKJV
 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? source

How about you? 
When your life here on this earth is finished, will your life just be a flush or will you be ushered into the very Face to face Presence of The LORD of GLORY?

2 Corinthians 5:8
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” source

Have questions?
Are you interested in Eternal Life? 
Are you convinced that YOU NEED A SAVIOR?
Because if you are said convinced, the Best News EVER is that JESUS is willing to save YOU.

Prayer and Friends

When you can call a friend who will drop what she’s doing, bow and pray with you and for you – that is a reason to give thanks!

I have such friends. 
I am grateful! 

We have heard Prayer Changes Things. 
And it does but what prayer mostly changes is PEOPLE. 
The ones praying and the ones being prayed for. 

Do you have such friends? 
If you do then you know what I mean and you are giving thanks. 

Acts 12 NLT

 4 Then he imprisoned him, placing him under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring Peter out for public trial after the Passover. 5 But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.  source

Click the word Source above and read the rest of the passage. 
The Church prayed and GOD did a Jailbreak!

Little Man

Leave a comment

I am thankful that 27 years ago today a little man was born. 
His lungs filled with air and he let out a cry that told us all he was strong and loved. 

Happy Birthday, Sweet Boy. Your Mamaw loves you. 

Children. 
Gifts from GOD! 

Psalms 139

13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! source 

 

Are you giving thanks for children today?
Are you giving thanks to the Father who has allowed us to love and care for these precious little men and little women?
The privilege, the responsibility. the GIFT of introducing these little ones to JESUS is our greatest joy and our greatest accomplishment.
Amen and amen!
