I WILL GIVE THANKS ~

Daily I write you because I care!  



A daily message from me to you.  A message of hope, encouragement and counting blessings of what we do have in life.  One prayer by me for you, your family and friends.  One prayer by you for your family and friends as well.  Taking the time for you is important too.  

Sometimes in life we get so busy, doing things that are important.  It's time to take few minutes to read this, plant hope in this day and continue walking the path God has made this day. 

Psalm 118:20-24  New International Version (NIV)
20 This is the gate of the Lord
    through which the righteous may enter.
21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
    you have become my salvation.

22 The stone the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone;
23 the Lord has done this,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 The Lord has done it this very day;
    let us rejoice today and be glad.

​GOD ANSWERED ME ~
I'm inspired to write daily because I know where God has brought me from in life.  Too many sorrows and tears that I cried out to God for a new day.  One day can become so overwhelming and the wonder of it life.  Yet, when I cried out to God, he answered me!  Things haven't always turned out the way I thought it would, but it's turned out exactly like God wanted it too.  

Jesus was a man who walked this earth.  He was rejected by people and hung upon a cross at the end.  Yet, the end was the beginning.  Jesus let us by example in the Bible times and still does today.  So many changes over our lives and if we could only focus on the blessings we do have in life.  The Bible says to rejoice and be glad in this very day!  

Isaiah 41:10 New International Version (NIV)10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

A NEW DAY ~
I will face unknown things and I will trust God without limits!  I will hold on for my family and my friends.  I know that God creates miracles and I know my faith is big.  There is no fear in God and I choose no fear this day.  I will live in the freedom of my own choices and doing the right thing.  I will trust God and know that his plan is perfect.  I will live by Jeremiah 29:11 A plan, A promise and A future.  

I value the prayers of the readers of this blog too.  I might know who reads this, but God does.  He has brought you to the page today for a reason.  Not just for me, but for you!  You are important and God wants the best for you.  If you haven't surrendered your heart to him, it's easy.  Just asking forgiveness of your mistakes (sin) and ask him into your heart.  Reading the Bible is your roadmap to life.  When I first ask Jesus into my heart, I felt a change within me.  I knew that something was different but didn't get the complete picture. As I am older, I realize it takes time to learn about God and his ways.  It takes a daily decision to read, listen to music and to grow spiritually. 

I WILL GIVE THANKS ~
To God for all the things I've been through.  It's through the tough times, I've learned to lean on God, family and friends.  It's through the good times that I share smiles and dreams of greater days.  Through it all, God is faithful and I see that.  I put my hope in him every day of life.  I've changed over the years and I see the importance of one day and right decisions. Thank you for taking time to read this and planting hope in today.  

​My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
