November “things”
Welcome to the best “things” of November! Thankful Thanksgiving things! As always, the holiday helps us stop and ponder the things we are thankful for. I have a bounty of blessings God has given me. One of which is this blog! My blog anniversary is this month and I’m amazed at what God can do when we surrender to His will. I have many poems I’ve written on my blog, but Be brave is a special one.
Let’s dive deep into gratitude! What is gratitude? According to the dictionary it’s the state of being grateful : thankfulness. That may sound obvious, but I think the key word is “state”. And most importantly, what does God say about gratitude? 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “ Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Interestingly these match up! Giving thanks in all circumstances is being in a state of gratitude. In the world that’s not easy, but is possible with God. For me it means going to God’s Word and relying on the most powerful living thing in the universe to help me. In quiet meditation of my heart set on God’s truth and nothing else.
I’m heading back to the beach! I am truly amazed at God’s goodness in getting me back home. You know the saying home is where your heart is? Yes. My heart is at the beach and I’ve missed it terribly. I am beyond excited to go back to where it all started for me in FL and be by the beach again. God’s plans for me are beautiful.
I pray you all have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving and you can thank God for sending Jesus to be your Savior.
In Jesus name, Amen
Until next time…
Follow God and Write from your Heart,
