Thankful Thursday



I'm thankful for a safe trip to San Diego this morning. I'm grateful for all the prayer support because favor was mine at every turn! Even though it was very early, my traveling companions that I met on the shuttle to the airport were lively and talkative. We conversed about everything from recipes to our faith. It was pleasant on the airplane as well.

I'm so grateful to be here in San Diego with my family. It doesn't take much for Susanna to make her Grammy smile. Being with her brings back tons of memories of when her mommy was that age!

This week I'm praising God for our military. I'm so proud to be an American. Our family is shouting "Go Navy!" We are so proud of the Navy Seals who rescued Captain Phillips. We can only imagine the celebrating going on in that family and in their church family who rallied around them during the capture. Ours is a wonderful country and I pray blessings on those who defend it.

If you would like to participate in Thankful Thursdays, visit Laurie at Women Taking a Stand.

    Thank you for sharing your grateful heart with us today at TT! I am also thankful and proud to be an American and I never want to take my freedoms for granted. Never have I been more aware of how the US takes for granted the freedoms that we enjoy until my own son, serving in the Air Force was sent overseas to a very poor area. He has been gone 9 months and I bless the day he returns to US soil. Thank you for sharing your heart with us today. -Laurie

The Trade

My best friend’s husband died, but she did not place her wedding ring in a draw.  She designed a new ring, an everyday kind of ring, and incorporated the diamonds from her wedding ring.  I cheered her on for her ingenuity to keep his memory close at all times. A gal in my critique group wrote about the best Christmas present she ever received.  She inherited her late mother-in-law’s mink coat.  She loved her dearly, but when she put on the coat, she felt like she stepped out of the 1950’s.  She hated the thought of it placed in a box and stacked on a closet shelf.  Her husband took it to a furrier and surprised her at Christmas with a brand new mink stole.  I choked up when I read her words of love for her mother-in-law and the beautiful mink cape she wore for a classy event in frigid Flagstaff during the holidays. The Spiritual Trade off I don’t have a mink coat or extra diamonds to create something new.  I do have some thin...

Spiritual Sundays ~ Not Just For Prophets

I smiled when I heard Pat Robertson on the 700 Club make this remark: “Doesn’t everyone talk to God?” He was referring to the jab that Joy Behar gave to Christine O’Donnell, running for Senate in Delaware. Christine was asked by one of her supporters why she goes out on a limb defending her conservative Christian convictions in such a hostile campaign. “Because God told me to” she replied. And for that, Joy called her crazy because she hears from God. The cry of my heart is to be able to hear God’s voice. When God speaks personally, there’s nothing else like it in the whole world. I studied the 25th chapter of Genesis this week and noticed how troubled Rebekah was during her pregnancy. She said “Why is this happening to me?” She was referring to the jostling in her womb. So she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said to her: “Two Nations are in your womb, And two peoples from within you will be separated; One people will be stronger than the other And the older will serve the y...

I'm Going as Abigail This Year

I vote for more purses, toothbrushes, cups, storybooks, and Halloween costumes that feature Abigail of the Old Testament.  She's a much better role model than Cinderella in my opinion. Once upon a time, there was a kind woman by the name of Abigail who lived with a surly man who liked to drink a lot and party.  One time, King David and his army were very hungry and entered the surly man’s homestead and asked if they could come to his barbecue.  The king had a right to ask because he and his men protected the homestead’s boundary lines.  The surly man said, “No.  Get off my property.” King David had a temper and became offended at the nasty man's cruel words. Surly drunk + spiteful King = War In the meantime, Abigail heard about the situation her cantankerous husband caused and spent hours baking cinnamon rolls for King David and his hungry army.  She rode to their campsite and dismounted from her horse.  She presented the King with her ...
