Word Filled Wednesday



As we approach "Thanksgiving week" it is a time where we begin to prepare for Thanksgiving. During this week, we will probably search out grocery sale ads for good deals, do lots of menu planning and food purchases. It promises to be a busy week.

May we take a moment to prepare our hearts for Thanksgiving. This is a great start for this busy week and as we acknowledge that God is the true Giver of all and be thankful to Him, this will set the tone in our hearts, homes and lives for a true Thanksgiving celebration.

    Love your blog and that has to be the best verse for Thanksgiving to remind us, it's more than just the food, but it's about Him who fills our soul with completeness and the blessings when we show our humble gratitude for what we did not ask for, but He gave for us out of His love.

    Fantastic WFW!

    Beautiful post! When we encounter the bad things of our fallen world, it's easy to question the goodness of God. This verse is a wonderful reminder that he is the solution to our problems--not the cause.

    Happy WFW! Blessings,

    e-Mom :~D

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
