We all have things to be thankful for from the shoes on your feet, clothes on your back, the water you drink, the house you live in, the car that drives you to where you want to go, and more… We have a billion things to be thankful for, can you think of one?
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
– John 7:37-38
Streams of water; living water for dying hopes, cool water for scorched hearts, refreshing water for those tired and weary. This is, of course, much more than a liquid we can drink with our lips. This is the ultimate water of the soul that God longs to give to us, his children. Let’s spend the month refreshing ourselves with the promises of Jesus and trusting that, as we draw close to him, the Spirit will restore our soul.
My Prayer…
Father, thank you for sending Jesus to save me and the Holy Spirit to provide and renew me. Please bless me as I draw closer to you and restore my soul with the refreshing living water of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Now comes the rest of the fun…

This week I am THANKFUL for…
My friend Debbie for lending me the new Janet book! Smokin’ Seventeen will be on my next thing to read!
Church – Jade even enjoyed it and that is always a plus!
Doctors – For giving them enough knowledge to know when something is wrong
Motivation – not just myself but the motivation from friends
For the Dark Sensation Hot Chocolate
Pain – If I didn’t have pain, then I would be where I always was. Since there is pain, then I know I am changing.
Today – Today is another day God has given me to make a change, to change myself, or even change my ways 🙂
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
– Philippians 4:4-7
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. – Isaiash 40:29

Here it is, another week has gone by. It doesn’t feel like it has been that long since I posted a Thankful Thursday. Time flies when your having fun though!
This week has been so amazing. I have stepped back and viewed my life differently. I have seen things that I wouldn’t have seen if I didn’t take the time to “wanting” to see them! It is all about looking for the positive in life than always dreading the next day.
“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” – Ephesians 4:31-32
I am thankful for…
My hubby letting me use his phone (my phone died this week).
My daughter’s laughter.
My family, as they hold me close and listen when I need them.
The friends that have reached out to me.

For the love that covers me.
