A Hurting Word...

Thanksgiving USA--the fun of Macy's Parade and football games; family get-togethers and friends; and who can forget the wonderful food--turkey, stuffing, mom's favorite cranberry salad, grandma's pumpkin pie! By the end of that wonderful day, we're ALL stuffed turkeys!

I LOVE Thanksgiving--it's one of my favorite days of the year. Bitter-sweet memories of a mom and dad at our dinner table, now banqueting with the King; funny memories of my first turkey, complete with photo to prove it; praiseful memories of all-church choirs in a festival of praise on Thanksgiving Eve.

And then it's over--for another year. I'd really like to sustain it for a life full of thanksgiving year-round. Wouldn't you? Especially on days when I'm stressed and tired--weary and upset. Not a thankful bone in my body. Can I celebrate then? Hardly, unless His Word abides deep within my heart, and I can pull from its resources into my hurting, unthankful world.

Now THAT gives me an idea! Thankful verses to warm my life, to lift my spirit, to encourage and enrich--long after Thanksgiving is over. And so, since like me, you'll probably be turkey-stuffed big-time, I'll not stuff you with any more words. Instead, I'd like to share with you God's Word for your life--on Thanksgiving Day--and every day of the year!

A Helping Word...or Two!

Trustful heart

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understand. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5,6 KJV)."

Hopeful soul

"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God (Psalm 43:5 KJV)."

Assurance of Faith

"...for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day (2 Timothy 1:12 KJV)."

Nearness of my Lord!

He who dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1 KJV)."

Knowledge of Jesus Christ

"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death (Philippians 3:10 KJV)."

Salvation by His Grace

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God--not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:8-10 KJV)."

A Thankful Lifestyle--it's YOUR way to give Him thanks for LIFE!

And that's just a word...or two, from HIS heart to yours!

His Healing Word

"For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21 KJV)."

"Lord, thank You for everlasting life. Thank You for your living Word. Help me to know that it's in the hard days I honor You most when I trust Your love and Your Word. Help me to live in the light of Your Word; to make my life one of thankfulness each day of the year. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
