Come join Iris’s “Thankful Thursdays” every Thursday to share your praises of what God has done for you in your life.
1 Sam. 2:8 He lifts the poor from the dust– Yes, from a pile of ashes– And treats them as princes sitting in the seats of honor. For all the earth is the Lord’s And he has set the world in order.
Please forgive me for this very simple Thankful Thursday but I was very humbled today.
Without going into much detail, we received a phone call asking for help in the form of anything that we no longer had need for to help another who was starting from scratch-literally from scratch.
Lord, Thank You for humbling us and reminding us, really in the end, what is more important than what we have around us.
Though we have a home, there are those without a home.
Though we have clothes, there are those without clothes.
Though we have family, there are those without family.
Though we have friends, there are those without friends.
Though we have furniture, there are those without furniture.
Though we look around our home and may think, we don’t have this or that, there are those who have nothing at all.
Lord, Thank You, for today, as we answer the call of the need of another whose starting fresh in life with completely nothing to not only be grateful for what we do have though it may not be a lot in our eyes, it’s a lot in other eyes.
I Thank You Lord ,that we were able to be of help when we could and I wish that we could have done more today like we had wanted to. I feel bad that we didn’t have more and couldn’t do more. Lord, may any and all who were connected today, forget it is about us or them, but remember that it is only about You.
Thank You that we could be there today and answer that need and I pray You and they will forgive us for not being able to give more and do more….
Heavenly Father, please hear my prayer, if anything Lord, I pray You would watch over this person, give them hope and strength and let them know somehow, in all this, they are NOT alone, that You are there.
I pray Lord, You would bless them, help them prosper and lift them up and in this and through this that it will bear testimony to You Lord and lead them to You so they will know there is hope for tomorrow, there are promises of a future and there is love in and through You.
Lord, I am thankful that You are there for us, for them, for all of us. That no matter what there is in life, YOU and only You, are there, a promise of forever, of love, of hope and grace. Help us remember in the end, it’s not about what we have or what we do, but that it is for You, with You, through You and about You.
Thank You Heavenly Father. Thank You.
