A Life Uncommon: Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday

I stand amazed.
I am so grateful at how very fortunate I am.
I am comforted.
Though a bit fearful and apprehensive there is excitement.
Tomorrow I have the privilege of a replaced crown and an injection in my knee.
I am offered a new hope of mobility.
My Beloved it encouraged over some events today at work that just may show hope for near future prosperity and reward for good service to his employer.
He is encouraged.
I am so thankful for that glow of hope infusing his heart.
I am so thankful for HOPE.
My children will soon begin the testing that will give them the hope of help to be able to achieve at their height of ability.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick.
This hope has been awaited for some time.
I am grateful that our hearts are being refreshed,
with
HOPE.

I am reading the reflections of Thomas A' Kempis, a monk and that helps me a lot. the book is called Imitaions of Christ, you must have heard about it. It was given to me as a teen ager but I am reading it now.

The electricity is about to go off so i am in a hurry, I will read your posts later on. Everyday we have 3 to 4 hours of electricity cuts. Power shortage.

Hope your tooth and knee is not troubling you any more.; September 27, 2007 at 9:05 PM

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
