Thankfulness is not something God gives us. It is not a spiritual gift and it is not a spiritual fruit. We can receive God's peace, joy and love, but thankfulness is something that we give to Godand to others. It is a choice that we make. Let us thank Him today with songs of celebration, hearts of strong devotion and acts of admiration.

Waiting times are growing times and learning times. As you quiet your heart, you enter His peace...as you sense your weakness, you receive His strength...as you lay down your will, you hear His calling.

Confidence is not based on you having all the resources needed to take care of yourself; confidence is based upon the truth that God is faithful.

Thankfulness is not something God gives us. It is not a spiritual gift and it is not a spiritual fruit.

How blessed I am that I can walk beside you, lean upon you, and live within the warmth of your love...

The wonder of Christmas is that the God Who lived with us can now live within us.

We are like clay containers filled with a beautiful treasure. So often it has been the love of Jesus expressed through the life of someone I know that has made a difference in my life.
