Category: Being Thankful

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-25

Psalm 37:25 (NKJV) 25 I was young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his seed begging bread.

Today, I want to take a moment and just thank God for being God in my life.

At 61 years of age I have seen some things, done some things, broken some things, and fixed some things.

But as I have leaned on Him, He has seen me through each and every situation. He has taught me how not to continue down a road of destruction and carelessness.

When we look back at the person we were, then to the person God changed us into, we will gasp at the ignorance we once walked in.

It will humble us knowing that without God, this is who we would still be without His mercy, grace, and provision.

I never had to beg Him for anything. He has carried me, provided for me, chastened me, and loved me.

Even when I was at my worst, He bought me! With His life, He saved me. He paid a very big price indeed!

Thank you, Lord. You are worthy to be praised and lifted High, above all else 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-6-25

Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) 24 This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

As I was doing my laps at the community pool today, I saw another person coming into the water. I said to this person, “what a beautiful day.”

They replied, “it is a beautiful day. Every day we get is a blessing.”

And I said, “no matter the weather, no matter the season, etc., they are all beautiful days, and you can find good in each one!”

We agreed that every day is precious, no matter what is before us.

Today, may we rejoice in this day and be glad!

We won’t get another like today, This day is it, and once it passes it is no longer for us to live in. We move on and it is now the past.

Praise be to God for each day He gives to us. Let us make the most of it. For it truly is a blessing!  Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-20-25

Philippians 1:4 (NKJV) 4 always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy,

We are so very grateful today for you. And we don’t want you to think for one moment we take for granted your prayers, your financial support, your encouraging words, and your standing with us.

We know that it’s only by His hand that we are joined together in Christ.

We ask people often, “how did you find us?” And they all seem to say the same familiar words.

“We stumbled upon your site. We can’t even remember how we found you, but it was what we needed to hear at that moment.”

It is God! Amen.

That’s how the good things in life always happen. We can’t remember how, or why. It just is.

Thank you for being with us, helping us spread God’s word, and growing with us. We are truly blessed having you here, and we can’t do it all without you.

We may never meet you face to face on this side of heaven, but we are divinely connected. And we will all meet on the other side some day.

And together we will celebrate and worship our wonderful Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ!

We appreciate and love you all so much, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank YOU!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-6-24

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

I am thankful.

What am I thankful for?

I am thankful for the grace and mercy of God.

I am thankful for the redemption He offers through the blood and the death of Jesus Christ.

I am thankful for God’s steadfast nature.

I am thankful for God’s provision.

I am thankful for the fact that He would humble Himself to come and dwell on earth among men, making Himself a little lower than the angels for a time, that we might know Him and receive His salvation.

I am thankful that He never leaves us nor forsakes us.

I am thankful for His word that guides, teaches, and gives us understanding.

I am thankful for the Holy Spirit, our Helper, Counselor, and Giver of discernment.

I am thankful for His healing power that is still available today.

I am thankful for the deliverance that He offers to anyone who will receive it by faith.

I am thankful for His peace that surpasses all understanding, even amid the storms of life.

I am thankful that He leads us, like a shepherd protecting the flock, even at the expense of His own life.

I am thankful that He healed me of asthma over 20 years ago, setting me free from breathing difficulties that were robbing me of my joy, and free from the chains of relying on an inhaler for over 30 years.

I am thankful to Him for rescuing me so many times throughout my life, even when I was at rock bottom, seeing no way out.

And I am thankful for who He is; God of wonders, the Creator of all we see. For there is none like Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-2-24

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Every day is a good day to remember and thank God for how wonderful He is!

When we pray, God hears our cry.

We may not even remember sometimes what we asked for because most times we just move on from there with the busy lives we live.

He is faithful in answering our prayers. Isn’t it wonderful being able to pray and leave it with Him? He is the ONE we can trust with our cares.

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

And that’s how it works when you have faith in God.

We know without a doubt that He will move on our behalf. He will answer our prayers, and things will be taken care of. Faith; it is what moves mountains!

The most important and responsible thing is to recognize His help and sincerely thank Him.

Giving Him glory for the good and wonderful God that He is!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-28-24

Psalm 9:1 (NKJV) 1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

Sometimes during our busy daily lives, we just need to be reminded of simpler things.

Learning of the mysteries of God is important. In fact, it is critical for us to know and understand these deeper things.

But simply praising God and expressing our gratitude to Him is equally important.

David had a special relationship with God, and he was not afraid to express his adoration for and his gratitude to Him.

As parents, we all know the satisfaction that comes when we hear our children say “thank you” or show their gratitude in some other way.

Our relationship with our heavenly Father is no different.

God is not a man, requiring the emotional affirmation of our words. But our praise pleases Him. And expressing it is good for us!

It is important for us to cast off the heaviness of the world, and the cares of our earthly lives. Expressing our praise and thanks to God is the perfect way to do that!

No matter what we may be facing today, no matter how heavy the burden may feel, let us shake off the weight of it as we praise Him, the One who created us, breathed life into our lungs, and gave our hearts the beat that keeps us alive.

Why? Because He alone is worthy!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-9-23

1 Corinthians 1:3 (NKJV) 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

This verse is our prayer over you all today.

You have been so very faithful in your giving of yourself through prayer, through financial help and through encouragement.

God is surely good to have blessed us with such kind and compassionate people like yourselves.

He is doing a great work, and we know you have grown and changed through His counsel.

You are strong. You are caring. You are diligent and you are steadfast. Your face is set like a flint, for you know He is your help.

Isaiah 50:7 (NKJV) 7 “For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.

Praise be to God. Let His grace and peace fill you and the place you are in right now, and know that He loves you and He sees your obedient heart.

God bless you this day. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-16-22 – Hand Picked

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the beautiful name of Jesus. 

Today’s post would normally contain a teaching video. This week, however, we weren’t able to record a video because we have both been laid up with a bad virus. 

Because of this, we didn’t have the time or the energy to record anything. 

So, we wanted to share a video that was recorded back in the early Summer while we were still trying to find our way and get settled into our new location. For some reason, it never got sent out. 

Today seemed like a good opportunity to finally share it, since it required no editing or production work. 

The video is literally less than 2 minutes long, but it expresses our hearts to you all. 

We hope each and every one of you will take the 2 minutes required to watch it and hear what it says. 

Please click to watch the video now. 

We love you all very much. 

Sincerely,

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-4-21

3 John 2 (NKJV) 2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Today we want to take a minute and write to you, our family that God has blessed us with.

We are so grateful for you, and we know that God is using you in helping us do what He has called us to do.

Before we began this journey, God showed us that we would be taken care of.

It was a big faith step for us, and even though at times we were scared, we knew it was what God wanted. We knew He would help us.

But what we didn’t know, was how He would do it. Isn’t that the thing that always tries to play with our minds. The how?

In the beginning, we sometimes tried to put pieces together that our logical side would say to do. But we would soon find out it wasn’t what God wanted.

It may have been a great idea, but it wasn’t His plan. So, we would quickly eliminate the thought.

It’s funny how He only gives us bits and pieces of His plan. It may be to keep us trusting Him for the rest. Or it may be because we may not be able to understand or handle what He shows us at that moment in time.

Either way, He has always been there for us. And we have learned to find great comfort in Him as we’ve faced the unknown.

You are a big part of this journey, whether you know it or not. You have been here through thick and thin, with your financial support and your prayers.

Your words of encouragement have brought us to where we are today. We are just like you, trying to run the race and get to the finish line with victory.

Another lap, here we go!!

We are excited to see what God will do as we push ahead, deeper into 2021.

We take it one day at a time, thanking Him for His provision and for each of you.

Your work, your marriage, your children and your walk with Him are so important to us. We want you to be the head and not the tail in all that you put your hands to.

We love you dearly, our divine family. Be blessed this day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-6-21

Psalm 50:14-15 (NKJV) 14 Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High. 15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

As I was going through chapter 50 of the book of Psalms, this particular pair of verses caught my attention.

It seems rather benign at first, but upon closer examination it is really pretty important to understand.

The very first word is “offer”, as we are told to offer God thanksgiving.

Most of us might initially think this simply means to thank God for what He does. But we need to understand that this is really referring to making a sacrifice of thanks to God, not just an off-the-cuff expression that has little meaning or sincerity.

You see, of all the things we can offer to God, a sacrifice of thanksgiving is one that never fails to please Him.

Next, we are told to “pay our vows” to Him.

What comes to mind when we read this will typically be the idea of paying something monetarily, such as our tithes and offerings.

While that is something that we should all do, this is actually referring to “keeping” our vows to God, not paying Him with money. Simply put, we follow through on the things we promise Him.

And then look at what He tells us in verse 15!

After we are told to offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and to keep the vows we make to Him, He tells us to call upon Him in our day of trouble.

And what will He do? He will deliver us!

So, as we are faithful to Him, He is mutually favorable toward us, declaring that He will deliver us in the day of trouble.

And, lastly, He tells us to glorify Him after He has rescued us from our trouble.

This is such a simple truth that we so often overlook in our lives. But the effects of carrying it out are more than worth the effort.
