Thankful for Warmth

November 23, 2018November 23, 2018 pleadinginprayerLeave a comment

At Thanksgiving, I often remember a time I didn’t have a working furnace.  In the fall of 2010, I had 18 inches of sewer water in my basement after a heavy rain storm.  I was told that I should have the furnace checked.  A contractor came by and told me there was a crack in [...]

Philosophy of Thankfulness

November 22, 2018November 21, 2018 pleadinginprayer1 Comment

As I mentioned in my Thanksgiving and Praise post, I have been thinking about a statement of thanksgiving.  This has been on my mind and heart for some time.  I couldn’t write this philosophy because of some life struggles over the past several years.  I wanted to be able to be honest about the difficulties, [...]

Thankful for Freedom

November 21, 2018November 23, 2018 pleadinginprayer1 Comment

Most people will look at this and think of the freedom we have in the United States of America.  While it is true that we have freedom of worship, freedom to choose a job, freedom of speech, etc., this isn't the best freedom. The freedom that I am the most thankful for is found through [...]

Opportunities to Learn

November 20, 2018November 20, 2018 pleadinginprayerLeave a comment

I am so thankful that God has given me many opportunities to learn.  I was in good schools that gave me a quality education with a God centered worldview.  My parents sacrificed to pay for tuition.  I had the opportunity to attend a Bible college with professors who lived a God centered worldview.  God has [...]

Thankful for Safety Support

November 19, 2018November 17, 2018 pleadinginprayerLeave a comment

As we go into Thanksgiving week, I want to take time to say thank you to all of those whose jobs are specifically to support my safety.  We have law enforcement, fire, ambulance service to help keep us safe. They do not have an easy job.  I am thankful that they continue to work at [...]

Thankfulness and Truth

November 17, 2018 pleadinginprayerLeave a comment

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, thankfulness does not pretend that nothing is wrong.  We must be honest about what is difficult in our lives.  Some situations just stink.  Our issue is that we get tunnel vision and focus on the difficulties.  We need to balance talking about the truth of both the [...]

Grateful Thankful Blessed

November 10, 2018November 25, 2018 pleadinginprayerLeave a comment

I have seen "Grateful Thankful Blessed" on t-shirts, home decorations, screen savers and more.  I enjoy the combination of the three words.  Gratitude is a heart attitude.  Thankfulness is the expression of gratitude.  Blessing is why both should happen. Life if full of difficulties; however, God is good.  When I struggle being thankful - or [...]

Hope in God

November 3, 2018November 28, 2018 pleadinginprayer1 Comment

As I work through writing my statement of thankfulness, my mind goes down different paths.  Too often, I think we fall into one of two ditches.  Either we go about trying to think everything is peachy and happy or we fall into the trap of griping and complaining through our days. God's Word gives us [...]

Thankfulness and Praise

October 27, 2018 pleadinginprayer1 Comment

With the Thanksgiving holiday coming soon (3 1/2 weeks), I have been thinking ahead to my traditional Thanksgiving week posts.  I have been challenged to come up with a philosophy or thankfulness statement.  This has been a thought in my mind for at least a couple of years.  I am still working on it, but [...]

Holding Fast

October 20, 2018October 20, 2018 pleadinginprayerLeave a comment

As control desiring human beings, we often hold tight to what we want.  Sometimes our desires are good, but they must be brought under the authority of Almighty God. God's Word, His way, His faithfulness are concepts that we can hold tight.  He is worth holding fast!
