Blessed Thankfulness

Something wonderful was taking place

while I was away caring

for my dear parents.

I received a gift of the most special

kind of love poured out through YOU, my dear friends!

That gift was the gift of sweet prayer

lifted up to God on behalf of

myself and my parents.

I felt God's hand in mine

as He reassured me that we were not alone,

that He never leaves us

and will be with us always.

I knew God's loving presence

was right there with us 

every moment of every day.

My heart is rich and full of gratitude

for so many things.

For Stephanie my wonderful daughter

who graciously stepped in for me as a guest 

while I was away from the computer.

She has such a willing heart

to be used of the Lord

here in our beautiful community of blogging.

She didn't know it at the time,

but her post was meant for ME.

God knew that I was in need of a reminder

to keep a song in my heart.

No matter what God dishes out onto our plates,

there will be joy found in our hearts

as we sing our way through.

Stephanie ~ thank you for having 

such a sweet and tender spirit.

I love you!

I cannot forget you, my dear and sweet friends!

Thank you for your prayers, love and concern.

Words are not enough to express how

my heart rejoices.

Through your relationship with God,

you have given of yourselves 

so that others would be blessed.

On behalf of my parents, thank you!

Through Stephanie and her guest post

I had some lovely new ladies visit

and even follow along.

I want to thank you and welcome you

to my little corner of the world.

{ I hope to visit you real soon}

It is my humble prayer that you ~ and all

who seek to have their hearts refreshed

through the Scriptures found here at ~

She Graces Her Home In God's Beauty

will find all that you may be seeking.

God speaks to our hearts individually

through His Word,

I am just His instrument desiring to be used

as He guides me along the path

He has set before me.

I look forward to walking God's path

with you, as you follow along.

May we rejoice in the goodness

of the greatest Gift ~ Giver of all

and in the gifts of friendship

we've been given.

" Every good and perfect gift is from above."

James 1:17

Our Precious Heavenly Father ~

You are so good to us!

Thank you for the love of friends

and for their care and concern

for what is happening in the lives of others.

May we always be mindful

of the needs around us,

and fall on our knees before Your throne of grace

giving praise and glory to You.

Amen

Joy to You!
