Thankful that God is Trustworthy

With everything that's been going on in our lives right now, I'm so glad I can trust God. He's the only true source of faithfulness in this world. He is so trustworthy.

Thank you Father, that I can always trust you to care for the needs of my family. How easy it is to worry about finances or all the "what ifs" the media presents, but I trust You.

Thank you Lord, that I can trust YOU with my marriage. And by the way Lord, thanks for giving me such a great marriage! What did I do to deserve this? (nothing!)

I can trust You with the precious lives of my little innocent children. The world makes me want to hold them closer and protect them by sheltering them forever, but You ask me to trust You.

Thank you Father that I can trust You to build up our church and be our shepherd. You are the head of the church and you are the only thing that holds our body together.

Thank you Lord that I can trust You to bring along the right job at the right time. I trust You to make that decision.

Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in
the name of the LORD our God.


Thanks Iris, for making me ponder how trustworthy God is today. I needed that reminder.

You are writing from my heart, Heather. Yes, we can either listen to the world - or trust our Lord to see us through the tough times.
Yeah - I wish too to hold-on to our son forever :)

Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this week.

Blessings to you and your wonderful family.

Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? by Phillip Yancey

Shannon, at Rocks in my Dryer , is hosting a huge giveaway! Isn't that exciting! I love to give something meaningful to my friends - as I shop, I always look for just the right item that fits our relationship and the individual's personality. So, if you stop by this little blog of mine, I think you might like this gift I've picked out. This fall, I have been nourished by the wisdom of Phillip Yancey in his recent book on prayer. Our Bible study has plumbed the depths of prayer with Yancey's help in this amazing book. My personal prayer life has been challenged and I have probed the deeper questions surrounding prayer with a beloved mentor. I would love for you to enjoy this book too. I'll be giving the book away to one blessed commenter. So, leave a comment here and I'll be drawing a name next week to give away this treasure box full of well-mined jewels from God's Word and life's experiences. Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered in the draw...

Thankful Thursday

A few things that fill my heart with gratitude... *Bright explosions in the sky *Bug repellent *Calamine and band aids for when we forget about the bug repellent (and the polka dot girl I put to bed each night whose sensitive skin seems to attract the little suckers) *Days spent at the beach *Life jackets *Aloe, although it can't take away a lobster red sunburn, it does soothe *Photographs and memories *The public library. My family has been enjoying plenty of summer library programs. *Ok, I'm even thankful for cockroaches. The kids sure had fun playing with the huge ones the "Bug Guy" Brought in for the last program we attended. They even ate a few bugs. (I am NOT joking!) I, on the other hand, found it conveniently necessary to excuse myself to the restroom right around the time the roaches and tarantulas were being brought out. *I'm thankful for a new job...which will be starting soon (more on that later). *Green slime, explosions, goggles and lab coats...yes,...

God's Encouragement

I am thankful this week for so much, but I have to share my little piece of encouraging news first. I submitted a little article to our newspaper and then I found out they don't accept unsolicited submissions, so I forgot all about it. Then, in our paper today, I saw my article! It was a little encouragement from God to keep plowing away at this writing thing even when it seems difficult. He is so tender-hearted toward me, I feel overwhelmed! I'm also thankful for the world class concert I attended today. I would have paid top notch prices for this concert which played out in a small bedroom with a karaoke. The first artist was a young singer who wrote her own music (straight from her heart) and the song was something about glorifying God by loving Him in all we do. She sang as she danced about in her ballerina costume. Next up was a short toucan with a toddler face peeping out and a loud voice. His arms moved to the music as he told us "My God is so big, so stwo...
