Thankful Thursday

Life has a way of shifting our pace whether we asked for it or not. These days, I don’t get out much, and I don’t mingle the way I once did. It isn’t by choice—just the natural bend in the road that comes with age and a few health challenges. But here’s the part that surprises even me: I’m still happy. I'm still content, I'm still thankful and satisfied with the life God has given me right here, right now.

My world may be smaller than it used to be, but it’s far from empty. I’m always on the lookout for little things to keep my hands busy and my heart engaged. Some days it’s journaling with my colored pens and washi tape. Other days it’s diamond art, latch hook, or simply sitting with a cup of coffee and letting my thoughts wander or best of all, just sitting and talking with God. I may not have a calendar full of events, but I have a life full of moments—and that counts for something.

The challenge, of course, is finding things to write about when my days are quiet. I don’t have big adventures to report or bustling social gatherings to describe. But maybe that’s the beauty of it. Maybe this season invites me to notice the small blessings—the ones that are easy to miss when life is louder.

There’s meaning in the slow mornings. There’s comfort in familiar routines. There’s joy in discovering new hobbies, even at 81. And there’s peace in knowing that God is not limited by my mobility or my circumstances. He meets me right where I am, in the quiet corners of my day, and fills them with His presence.

From life I've learned to savor the gentle things: a soft chair, a good memory, a hymn drifting through the house, a phone call from someone I love, or the simple pleasure of writing down a thought that made me smile. (I do that a lot😊)

This season may be quieter, but it is still rich. And I’m grateful to be here, living it, noticing it, and sharing it with you.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

😊Today's thought that made me smile!😊

One of the things I love about God's Word is that it has no expiration date.

*Timing*Will*Word*Plan*

Graphic from the internet.

HIS TIMING:

Isaiah 60:22
"When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen."

This assures believers that God will act at the perfect moment.

 

HIS WILL:

1 Thessalonians 5:18
"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

This verse reminds us that no matter what’s going on, choosing gratitude keeps us aligned with God’s heart and His purposes for us.

 

HIS WORD:

Hebrews 4:12

"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

God’s Word is alive with power, cutting through every layer of our being to reveal what is truly in our hearts.

 

HIS PLAN:

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

This scripture emphasizes God's intention to provide hope and a positive future for His people, even in difficult circumstances.

Ain't God Good?!

Oh yes He is!

Until Next Time
