Encouraging Women to Walk Deeper with God
We’ve journeyed together this year. We’ve grown in faith. And linked arms together here at the blog.
Subscriber, you are precious to me.
Not all of us are in the US, but for those who are, today’s a holiday.
Do you have one of these lists?
We’re heading into December. How crazy is that? Time is flying. Does anyone know where it’s flying to?
This morning as I stood on the back patio, something clicked. I’m not certain what prompted the thoughts, but I’m glad they came.
As the scene of changing and bare trees on the rolling landscape came into view, thankfulness overflowed. A list rolled off my tongue. It was an offering of thanks to God Above.
~ The beauty of our Creator’s landscape
~ Rocks from our neighbor that now dot our flower beds
~ A faithful husband who is careful to provide and treats me like a queen
~ The blessing of children and their activities
~ A love-filled Savior always faithful to forgive
~ Published articles, the opportunity to minister through words.
We’re nearing the end of the year. It’s the perfect time to look back.
We also recently trodded through Thanksgiving. How about taking a regular dose of thanks forward with us as well?
Today’s post is all about thanksgiving. It includes homework. I hope you don’t mind, but it’s easy.
Offering thanks is like exercise – it’s good for us. So come with me, flexing and building that thanksgiving muscle, okay?
Write ’em down.
Jot them in the comments here.
Speak them aloud.
However you feel prompted to offer them, gather a few moments and thoughts to simply offer our Father thanks.
Yes, soon! But something new is coming…..
So if you haven’t yet subscribed here at www.kristiwoods.net, now is the time. During November you’ll receive 15 Powerhouse Prayers from Ephesians, and all subscribers will have access to the new, free download sometime in December. (Honest note here ~ as soon as I can figure out how to add it correctly, it’ll be available. I decided it was time to dive in and learn that ditty vs. relying on my wonderful IT gal. How’s that for trying new things?! Stay tuned…)
Also, December 20 will be my final post for 2016. The kids are on vacation from school over the holidays, and enjoying time together calls. How about reconnecting here on Monday, January 9th with an all new #ScriptureBank2017?
I thank God for you, my friend, and will “see” you next Monday right here with #ScriptureBank2016.
Thanksgiving is in the air in America. But will the attitude and offering of thanks stay with us year-round? We’re called to remain vigilant with thanksgiving – regardless of where we live on the globe. I don’t know about you, but at times it’s easy for me to slip-slide away from a thankful attitude.
Colossians 4:2 is a good reminder to remain vigilant in prayer with thanksgiving. It’s not simply a suggestion. It’s solid and sits boldly in God’s word.
If you’re a slip-slider like me, encouragement awaits in the following linked piece. The scriptures woven within and the lesson my own two year-old taught me certainly were. It’s called 3 Ways to Keep the Spirit of Thanksgiving Alive All Year. Enjoy!
As readers and subscribers, it’s a joy to journey together here on the blog and on social media. I thank God for each and every one of you. Happy Thanksgiving!
