Giving Thanks is an Attitude, not a Holiday!!!


My Wonderful Mother-in-Law Celebrated Her Family Birthday!
 
My son, Cal, just doesn't exactly tell you when the picture is going to be snapped!


1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 5:20
Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 134
1 Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
who minister by night in the house of the Lord.
2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary
and praise the Lord.
3 May the Lord bless you from Zion,
he who is the Maker of heaven and earth

James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

God gives us all our gifts. What alone can we do or say to bless HIM that HE has not given us? Thanks. Today I started to moan and mumble. Well, that comes from not giving thanks.

Father GOD thanks for my blessings when I ignore my blessings, I give into falling into spoiled thinking. Thanks for Kimberly we first spoke to at The Woodlands about the trees. Her eagerness to help. And Devon, his agreements. And his confidence in our reports.

Father God thank You for my mom who is so willing to help and to pray. Father God thank You for my cousin who says mannn that's not right and helps. And being paid for the Guardianship, my cousins who helped. And for Tony, he is an encourager!

Thank you for the welcome we had encouraging us to visit my small but loved little Town.

And cousins, thanks for some REAL help with Edward's business. I have to laugh, Edward is happier than ever. And for Edward's sense of humor at Edward's ribbing.

And my Gardere family. Wow L we spoke and isn't Baby Robert a wonder in his good, loving behavior. And my sister in laws - hey - it's like we are like - Family! Love. And much Love to Judy for our understanding and Love in our Sunday conversation. Thank YOU LORD for such a good event and how lovely to see people so vibrant and radiant in their seventies and higher. Father God the joy in seeing the older generation Going FORTH in HIM. So sorry I didn't get to speak to Tina McBee and the Hammacks. Aww.

Blessings on the lady who said don't pray for me and we do pray for. The Light in her is shining and we both know that. And my cousin in laws who we enjoyed wool gathering about antique businesses.

For that Alex Hughes and Kathy. Alex shows up and fixes things. Alex doesn't fully know but all those actions toward his brother and for my family - are the actions of one who loves HIM. God bless Alex for his humor in all the honesty I give him. And his bounce. Blessings on Alex.

Bless Kirk Beaumont, who knows how that air conditioning works and moves fast to fix that all up. And know how to bless us even more by taking up fried chicken. Bless and encourage Cindy and Kirk Beaumont. How many of us are so totally unaware that their blessing our Church with Kirk's vacation to work for the Church is sooo appreciated. For years and years. When you give like that - God never forgets. Blessings on the joy they have given all their children and the marvelous work to be repeated in the generations to come, in their grandchildren. That is a Fine Example to us all about building Legacy. Cindy Beaumont with the face reflecting HIS Love, moves and loves the Church in ways she is completely unaware of.

OH man, Lord, only went we give Thanks does the bounce come back full swing. Thanks FATHER GOD!!! Never before have my problems been fix the Porsche scratch oops I made and how to have the house professionally cleaned. Thank You Lord for the blessing of prosperity. Thanks for Kurt who listens to new life, new thinks and a gives Good advice with proper amount of snap. (No Kurt there is no way I'm cutting my hair. And it looked marvelous the next day. A tart Thanks SO Much, with real gratitude too.) And thanks to Kurt for medical advice. You know Father God, doctors love to give free advice. Continue to bless Kurt. For the blessing Angie is to work with people and pray as she types those Court Documents. Angie's prayers have blessed Edward. Lord, the unsung Texas heroes don't rest. Angie sees first hand sexual predators in Texas are put back into the system very fast. And the court reporter prays as she types the evidence. And this - for Terry Spikes giving such beautiful blessings. And the Conroe Policeman who bowed and Texas waved his head at me. Made my day.

AND DORA!! Lord thanks for the bounce of WHAT and freedom to say what one thinks with acceptance. Good people give good bounce. Bless Jeanette Lord, she has had illness with looking to you. Her Joy in You. Jeanette has the Gift of Prayer. Bless the bounce in Mary Ann! And always Teri. Everyone loves to give thanks for Teri and her diligence, earnestness and fall down humor. And Cindy who seems to appear at the right moment to warmly encourage. And the blessing of Nancy, who has a NEW outlook on live and says her eighties as a BRIDE are Fabulous! And Annie who always glows like Cindy Beaumont does. And actually so does Bishop Sam Halsey. Annie, you need to get in on these prayers because.... When WE PRAY HERE, WE ARE GETTING ANSWERS AND BLESSINGS!!! Thank you LORD JESUS. Amen.

For the dignity I've seen in Agapita and Dora serving their community as light!

And for my friends who call on me and tell me they love me. We don't see all our lives but I am going Forth rejoicing in blessings of love and care!!! You know who you all are and you know you are blessed in my heart in love and in my prayers.

For the gentleman who works at Starbucks and is so kind. And the lady giving us free beverages at Chick Fillet. And the Jason's Deli person too. God bless you all for kindness is so about we bless ourselves when we bless others. God is sneaky like that. Wow. Thanks Father GOD. And the Sam's Clerk telling me - from Him - "Rejoice in the day! Find what HE does to make each day sufficient!" Blessings to her.

And Thanks, Father God, for my mom. We might just slug things out, but wow I saw the blessings of her return to Dallas she was moving at light speed for her increase in the joy she finds in her life.

And I'm praying for Paul and Karen to return. They encourage others just by their attitudes and joy bubbling up from the back onto their faces. And for Clark and the Lewis' who have put together with good care a good pastoral group.

And always the Needlepoint Group for the joy of being real!

The blessings of God are always there, we just tend to tuck our chin in and fret. LORD THANK YOU FOR YOUR BLESSINGS!!! Jesus Christ is Lord. Amen. And AMEN.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

The Scriptures are Father God's letter to you. He wanted you to know more, to know He loves you.

Thanks for Joining us today!!!

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
