Today's Scripture
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness” (Colossians 2:6-7 NIV).
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness” (Colossians 2:6-7 NIV).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Are you overflowing with thankfulness? Is your thankfulness spilling out on to the people around you? Don’t just think your thanks, show it! Don’t let the kindness of others go unnoticed. Sometimes it’s easy to take for granted the people who are closest to us, but those are the people we should thank the most. Your family, your friends, the ones who love and support you are the ones who should feel your thankfulness the most. And notice this verse says to live in Christ and be built up in Him. When you build yourself up by studying the Word and praying in the Spirit, then the second part of the verse will just come naturally—you will be strengthened in your faith, and your heart will be filled with thankfulness. Take a step of faith today and begin to show your thankfulness to those around you. Let it overflow on to the people around you. Sow seeds of gratitude and blessing. As you do, you will reap an abundant harvest in return and live the life God has planned for you today!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank You for strengthening me with Your faith and love today. Help me to be a blessing to those around me and give me creative ways to let my life overflow with thankfulness. I bless You today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We certainly did! We had all our family here - twelve people around the table including two 15-month-old babies! We enjoyed having everyone here so much. Today they left to go back to their homes. It is always a little sad for me when they leave. I don't like living away from my family, someday I hope we all live in the same area! That's my dream, that's my prayer!Since I'm still resting and recuperating from all the excitement, I'm going to share the above Joel Osteen devotional with you. I want my life to be a blessing to others, to overflow with thankfulness, and be grateful at all times.
Thank you for your interest, please leave a comment! And please do return soon!

Katherine,
I'm glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the love and laughter of family. Those babies are precious. I saw my 5 month old nephew today and he is adorable. He wants to kiss everyone and there's nothing that soothes the soul and spirit like baby goos and kisses.
Please stop over to my blog and pick up the Christmas Spirit button.
Blessings,
Mary
