Fill Your Heart With…….Thanksgiving

Last night as we prayer girls met……our hearts were filled with gratitude for our many answered prayers. Nancy, our faithful, hard-working, single Mom……is no longer single.
Stan, the man…..became our answer to prayer for Nancy….and they were married on Tues. Nov. 9th 2004.
Miracles happen……sometimes it takes years….others….minutes.
Our God…..is the only God……who works….Miracles!
And He is still in the “LOVE” business…..just ask Nancy and Stan.

We had many a prayer request for others who had health problems, marriage crisis problems, decisions to make and financial situations.
We ‘dumped’ all our problems on the Lord…..as it says in Psalm 55:22.…”Give your burdens to the Lord and He WILL take care of you…”
Feeling relieved, again……we laughed at each others ‘loco’ ways and thanked God we had Him…..and each other!
Today I am reading from ‘Poems for All Seasons’ by Helen Steiner Rice and there is one called….

Fill Your Heart With…Thanksgiving….

Take nothing for granted, for whatever you do
The “joy of enjoying’ is lessened for you -
For we rob our own lives much more than we know
When we fail to respond or in any way show
Our thanks for the blessings that daily are ours…..
The warmth of the sun, the fragrance of flowers,
The beauty of twilight, the freshness of dawn,
The coolness of dew on a green velvet lawn,
The kind little deeds so thoughtfully done,
The favors of friends and the love that someone
Unselfishly gives us in a myriad of ways,
Expecting no payment and no words of praise -
Oh, great is our loss when we no longer find
A thankful response to things of this kind,
For the joy of enjoying and the fullness of living
Are found in the heart that is filled with…Thanksgiving
