Thankfulness!!

Wow it has been a LONG time.  There have been many things going on and I did not have peace about blogging.  Now, I am back.
So November is here.  So hard to believe that we are already in the 11th month. Where has the year gone? When I think of November I think of being Thankful.
So, I will do my best to post something I am thankful for each day.

1 - I am thankful for my wonderful, Godly husband that God has given me.  I am so thankful that he seeks God's face for any decisions made for our family and any ministry God has blessed us to be in.  It is amazing to see God work in his life daily.  Doug strives daily to live as God wants.  What an honor for me to call myself his wife. 

2-(today is the 2nd) I am thankful for God being my strength in the midst of life's storms.  I am reading a book "An Excellent Spirit" by Dr. Jon M. Jenkins.  It is wonderful!!!  I will quote a section that fits storms perfectly.  I am thankful I don't face life alone but with God!
This part is from a section on being cheerful and having "Assuring Cheer"

"Maybe today you can't make sense of your storm. The good news is that you'll either make it through the storm or out of the storm.  One of these days when Heaven's grandstand is complete, and the canvas of time and eternity is unfurled, it will all make sense to us.  Remember this - the time we have our greatest opportunity to bring glory to God is in the times of suffering. It is when we are hurting, wounded, and bleeding that we need to keep our shouting, keep our praising, and keep our singing to our God.
Your heartache isn't an Accident; it's and Appointment.  God wants to prove to this world that His grace is sufficient.  What a privilege to be counted worthy to suffer for His name."

This portion has been such an encouragement to me in the past few days.  May God bless you from it too.

Looking forward to more thankfulness in days to come.
