I may make more thankful Fridays, and transfer some of those ideas into Faithful Fridays--I'll have to see! Today I wanted to post something that made me stop and think this week, I found it on Pinterest here.
Philippians 2:14-18
Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
Ephesians 5:4
Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
1 Timothy 1:5-6
The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions.

Gratitude makes such a difference in our heart and minds. It is a powerful tool!
ReplyDeleteI just did a Bible study yesterday that had us list our current bummers/challenges in a variety of areas of our lives and then write the special blessings that come in spite of the tough stuff. It was a good thing for my heart. :)
ReplyDeleteOh...thank you for that reminder. I am so guilty of feeling frustrated rather than grateful with little things like tons of laundry. Little by little it is getting better. I want to personally invite you to my second linky party called, RAW 10-minute Wednesdays. Opens @ 5 am on Wed. and closes on Thurs. late. There is a Christian prompt. Hope you can contribute if you want...no pressure. :)
