Lasting or Not

Giving thanks!

That hair grows. :)

For books 2016-11-05_15-08-59_437made of paper holding words carefully sealed with ink; pages that keep safe your highlights and words of your own added to his or hers; perhaps months or years from now to be treasured anew, if not by you then those you hold dear because electric grids and downed transformers cannot remove paper and pen.

For things eternal and Him who made it so.

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, Romans 1 source

Cheer Up Buttercup

Thinking about giving thanks.

Wisdom. I’m thankful for wisdom. Thankful that Father gives it to those who will ask.

James 1: (NKJV) If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. source 

All of Father’s children who will apply themselves to His Word can operate in wisdom; their education, status, pedigree – none of that prohibits wisdom. They can wear it daily. They can listen to man’s words and discern truth from lies; they can listen and know right from wrong however tangled the spin. Yes, I am thankful for ABBA’s gift of wisdom given to the dumbest of us! :)

  And I am thankful for smells and the ability to enjoy a pot of simmering water and 2016-11-04_08-18-10_428oil drifting lazily through the house.

I’m thankful for falling leaves that blanket the yard and a gentle breeze that moves Old Glory’s strips.

So for what are you giving thanks to ABBA today?img_9558

Timely Finds

Giving thanks today for timely finds.

I would say I don’t know what possessed me but that would not be altogether honest as I believe in Divine Intervention just because He is so awesome and He loves me; and so I cleaned out my img_9618red box today.  The red box sits near my desk chair. It keeps stuff handy.

And in that little red box today I found a small card that I didn’t know I had; and I didn’t know because on a day uncertain I just dropped the day’s mail into the box to open later, much later! Come the end of the year I would have been frantic and clueless. Now it’s tucked safely in my wallet! So today something I needed found me and I said thank You, ABBA,  out loud! :)

And while I was at it, the desk needed some work too so I am now able to say thank You for a img_9616clean desk.  Yes counting gifts is a good practice.

And yes I for sure believe that our GOD the HOLY SPIRIT watches over the mundane, the important, the imperative, the just because stuff in our every day lives and He moves us when we don’t even know it is Him until we timely find whatever is timely needed. :)

He is so good! So what are you giving Him thanks for today?

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. source 
2 Corinthians 13:14 (NKJV)
