I almost didn’t do my Thankful Thursday. I was just gonna read others….but you know you can’t do that. So after I read Kim’s from Season of my Heart…..I had e-mailed with her and low and behold…..a thankful post was the result. Sort of…..anyway, this is the product of the e-mail to Kim…and I am sharing it instead of the normal Thankful post. Iris, you are right on with TRUST. TRUST and FAITH go hand in hand.
“I don’t know what stage of “loss” I am dealing with in my sister’s passing…but today—well—let’s just say–I’m not doing a TT post…not because I don’t have anything to be thankful for…..—but my mind just can’t get there. Does that make any sense??
As I drive to and from work—40+ miles each way—I am listening to the Beth Moore study—“Living Beyond Yourself”….and I will just say there are days I quickly grab my pen and write down something that hits me like a ton of bricks! Her ministry has been a blessing in my life.
But more than that, I have been blessed by so MANY blogging friends that I stand (or sit) amazed at His mercy and goodness.” AND I am thankful …for all of that and so much more in my life. Thank You Lord. For Your blessings on me.
Thank you girls. Each and every single one. I love you.
“The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.”~ Psalm 9:9-10 (ESV)
I love the verse—well, I love them all—but today—must have been for me. Thanks Iris. Visit Iris for more thankful hearts….
Drinking from an overflowing cup….

I love you so much my sweet friend, I will not stop lifting you up in my prayers.
You are a blessing to me Angie! Love to you and your family.

I’m so glad you decided to do a Thankful Thursday post. I’ll be praying for you.
Praying for you during this time. Lean on God- He will carry you through this.Blessings,Jenifer
Angie, you are such a blessing to ME. I am overwhelmed by God’s love and the way He has given me a blog family. I love you, girl.
I totally understand, Angie – I know how it feels to loose someone very dear to you. You are just numb. You can’t think…and it is hard to see the light in the darkness, but you see that is just what the enemy wants – discouraging us. I will continue to pray for you, my sweet sister – and I can agree more with you on the ministry of Beth Moore – she has ministered to me so many time. I am glad that she is following the Holy Spirit’s lead.Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this past week – despite your great loss ((((hugs))))
