A Life Uncommon: Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday

Good Morning!

When I looked up from here last night it had snuck up on me!....
the time! Oh 10:30!
Oh to have such thorough joy to be so entrenched into the beauty that is all of your lives!
For last night I traveled far and wide.
I found myself amused, encouraged in prayer and in deep thought.
How wonderfully amazing to be so rich as to have so many intriguing folks to visit.
Some of you left me speechless.
some of you made me laugh, cry and smile.
I though this...this is rich.
I awake to thoughts of others who reach right back out to me.
Cords...
Cords that tie our hearts together.
Interest that may be common.
New Ideas that I had never thought of before.
Hearts reaching out , touching mine...
Touching yours.

"Bind us together Lord, bind us together with cords that cannot be broken....bind us together Lord, bind us together with Love."

'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"
