Instagram post 17843419747810177 Not too long ago I asked a group to give thanks for specific things. Each took a turn sharing. Except for one, who commented, “Shouldn’t we be thankful all year round? If I state that I’m thankful for one specific thing, it takes away the value of how thankful I am about other things.⁠ ⁠
True, we should be thankful all year round.⁠ ⁠
But it got me thinking. Why should we be thankful for specific people, places, or things? I thought about it all day while the chorus “Count your many blessings, name them one by one,”� ran through my mind.⁠ ⁠
With Thanksgiving around the corner, I felt this deserved some focused attention. I prepared a special thanksgiving treat for you. A 5-Day Mini Bible Study that will help cultivate an attitude of thanksgiving all year long.⁠ ⁠

Instagram post 17854392664617594 Sometimes God shows His love in the small things. ⁠
💕 ⁠
I’m in the middle of a minor health situation. Hoping this would resolve (or show signs of resolving) on its own, I’ve delayed seeing a physician. But this morning I knew I needed to be seen. Add in that my husband started a new job and we are in the middle of getting new insurance all squared away. Just some added stress. Not significant, mind you. But there, nonetheless.⁠
💕 ⁠
I guess God knew I needed to have a strong sense of His love and care today.⁠
💕 ⁠
I called the doctor’s office at 8:03. And pulled back into my driveway at 9:07—prescription in hand. How often does that happen? Calling for an appointment and getting one immediately. No wait in the waiting room. A quick diagnosis and a prescription ready for pick up. Since we didn’t have our insurance in place, the lady at the pharmacy added a discount card for me.⁠
💕 ⁠
I cried on my way home. Blessed that my Father in Heaven chose today to show visible mercy and grace to me.⁠
💕 ⁠
Most days aren’t like this. God still shows His love in other ways, just not as tangibly. But today, this is what I needed. And He provided. I’m so thankful!⁠
💕 ⁠
“for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." (Matthew 6:8)⁠
💕 ⁠
"And why do you worry? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:28-34)⁠

Instagram post 17845227889663815 Do you ever feel like no one “gets you”? Not your women friends or even your husband? Sometimes that’s what we *need*. Someone who understands *us* as well as what we’re going through. 💕 
A best friend is one of life’s treasured gifts. For women, especially so. If we are blessed, we may have several to walk with us through life. As children, we tend to gravitate toward “our one best friend.” But as we mature, we realize there isn’t “just one person” who can meet every need we have. For wives, not even our husbands can do that.⁠
💕 ⁠
Hopefully, we are blessed with a variety of friendships. Friends we work with, friends we exercise with, PTA friends, church friends, and neighbors. There are times, however, when friends are not available—or, they are altogether absent. ⁠
💕 ⁠
Thankfully, we serve a God who can and does meet the needs of women completely.⁠

When You’re Feeling Empty

We can distance ourselves from God when we harbor sin--leaving us feeling empty. But God wants us to move from empty to filled with joy, through confession.

Often feeling empty and distant from the Lord is caused by our not spending quality time with Him every day. Our relationship can be restored simply ... read more

Hearts glow when love is new. When love becomes stale, we can find our hearts feeling empty. But we can move from empty to filled with love.
