Thankful Thursday #2

Today I’m so thankful for MY PERSON.

I’m thankful for the struggles and hard times we have been through because they made us dig deeper, reach up, change and grow. There have been so many through the years and many dark deep trials that only he watched me walk through and stood by my side and held my hand.

I’m thankful most of all that he obviously is a maniac for being married to me for nearly 19 years and hasn’t run for the hills yet! He continues to support me and be my biggest fan…

Who are you thankful for today?

Your friend? A co worker? A kind soul in the local coffee shop? Tell that person today you are thankful for them.

We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow so tell that person what they mean to you. And I am super thankful for you coming along on this journey with me and that you are a part of my life.

Are you misbelieving you are alone in not having "a person" because you are single or without a family for any number of various reasons?

Oh my friend, that is NOT THE CASE!

You have a best friend, "a person", a redeemer, and lover of your soul in the Highest King of The Universe. He will be "your person". He is as real as anyone else. Although I will be the first to admit it isn't fun that we can't touch Him in person and run into His arms and sob wildly like we need to sometimes.

But let Him in...He is right there and always has been.

SCRIPTURES FOR THE DAY

JAMES 4:8a reminds us, "Draw near to God, and HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU ."

I JOHN 3:1a tells us, "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that WE SHOULD BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD; and so we are."

HEBREWS 4:15 paints a beautiful picture for us, "For WE DO NOT HAVE A HIGH PRIEST WHO IS UNABLE TO SYMPATHIZE WITH OUR WEAKNESSES, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin."

Be so encouraged today that you do "have a person" whether or not you knew it before this moment.
