Thanksgiving Friday!

It's another Friday, and we've had another week of living on purpose! I pray that all of you continuing with your New Year's resolve and not giving in to complacency, fear, or mediocrity!

This week I'm thankful for HELP! God is so good, and He has blessed me to work with some fabulous people who are willing to step in and assist in an excellent manner. I am part of a great team at work. We all complement each other in a way that let's our office run like a fine machine. And my church family is on the money as well. We are all aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses, and we work together to bring everyone's ministry and service up to a higher level. Thank you, Lord, for giving me Help!

I'm also grateful for God's peace. Despite all of the busyness and changes that I've been experiencing this week, I have been at peace. I haven't been sitting up entertaining worry. And stress has bypassed my doorway. I'm at peace through it all! God, I'm so thankful to have your peace!

Finally, I'm giving thanks today for the fast that I am participating in. Each January I'm reminded of the blessing one receives when they turn away from distractions and focus in on God. I've been hearing from heaven, and I am so excited about what God is saying. I've also been able to spend more time in prayer and glean more from the Word of God. I don't even miss the food and entertainment I've stepped away from.

What are you thankful for this week. Lift up your praise and thanksgiving! God is good!

Verse of the Day: Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward. Isaiah 58:6-8
