Attitude of gratitude at all times, PRAISE/WORSHIP.

Obey Him...

1 John 5:3
"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."

Of course there are so many other ways to show and LIVE our gratitude. It seems impossible to think that I could even possibly thank Him enough!

YES!! Sister, this is the scripture that came to mind for me as well.
Just love Him because He first loved us. Everything flows from there. If we're struggling, we just need to behold Him more ... to know Him is to love Him. :)

That's awesome. :) It's been quite nice here lately too ... finally, some sunshine. I have a spot in the yard where I can enjoy the sunshine, birds, squirrels ...and the occasional train off in the distance. Lol

The train is about a mile away. When we first moved here, it was hard to sleep through it. It took a few months to get used to it. Now, it's not so bad. lol
I went to the Dollar Store a week ago and got some good solid yard chairs and tables with iron frames ...and there's a "patio" area off the side of the house. Maybe I'll share some photos soon. (Need to mow my yard first! lol)

It sounds great. I so miss being in the country. Sigh. God willing, my house will sell this summer. His will is ALL I want and, if He want's me to stay here, in the city, so be it.
If we were closer, I could visit you in your "spot" and have fellowship :)
I have to run, hope to see you on here later!

How do we show our appreciation?
Did not Jesus himself show his appreciation for his Father with the implementation of what he said here?

"...nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." Matt 26:39

Whatever we have been doing or have wanted to be doing in and with ourselves, has it always equaled exactly God's will for us? If not, would not doing whatever we can to get into His will be showing our appreciation for what Jesus has done for us?

Anyone fallen short? I certainly have the end is not yet. He worked so are we not to work also?

First Jesus:
"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." John 9:4

Then you and I?


"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." John 6:29

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matt 5:16

Yes, ma'am! I'd love that! Praying your house sells soon!
Have a blessed day, Nancy. :)
