Thankfulness Day 15 & 16 because life sometimes just happens.

I know I have missed the 15th. Sometimes life gets in the way of the fun things like writing my blog. Yesterday I got involved in doing some office work I hadn’t done all year. So therefore priorities fell into check. So here is My thankfulness post for yesterday and I will add today’s post to give you a 2 for one.

Thankfulness day 15

What season are you grateful for? I think I may have covered what season is my favorite. The smell of fall I just love. But I really am grateful for the promise of spring. Spring is a reminder of new life. Everything that died in fall and became dormant in winter is starting to be reborn in spring. Spring is the time that the dead cold temperatures of winter begin to change and the sun warms longer and closer to the earth. Spring brings for the dormant bulbs that have been waiting for the chance to poke through the cool soil. Spring brings the buds on the trees that add so much beauty and promise of the leaves to come. Today as the sun is shining and warm I know winter will still set in, but during the times of winter when the cold drags, on we always have the promise that spring is coming.

It seems to me through these posts I have been really reflective of what God has done for us. Thinking about spring is no different. When I think of spring I picture the promise of Jesus’ return. I think about how when life drags on, sort of like winter, I need to stay focused on what Jesus promised, that he would return.  I love this analogy because Spring does always come. plants are reborn and become new. Like plants life has been reborn and we will become new when Jesus returns or he calls us home first.

Thank you Lord for the promise of heaven and the promise of a new life. Thank you for spring and bringing us new life in the plants around us. Thank you that we can see the spring and remember that you have promised a new life for each of us, if we choose to give our life to you.  In Jesus Name, Amen

Thankfulness 16

So today’s thankfulness post is supposed to be on what about my body am I thankful for. Now I can see doing this within your own heart and thinking about something to be thankful for. But as a blog I am going to change this up a little bit.

So here’s my revised question. What about yourself are you thankful for? Not specifically your body.

I am thankful for my ability to be strong and find my strength in Christ through hard situations. This has gotten me through some very difficult times in my life. Its actually not my ability at all, but through the Holy Spirit this has been brought to me by his indwelling. He has gotten me through tough times in life. I am thankful that through each hard situation I am able to grow and become a better person.

Thankfulness scriptures for the 15th and 16th

Psalm 105:1 Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. 

Colossians 4:2 Devote yourself to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
