Thankful~Psalm 100

The Bible is full of verses about thankfulness.  One of the most dearly loved is Psalm 100.   The sweet ladies over at Dear Lillie are giving away a beautiful word art of Psalm 100.   Click HERE to read the post.



They have a gorgeous shop with lots of artsy things so check that out, too!   I plan to print out my copy and frame it so it can grace the mantle. 

Thank you Dear Lillie for sharing this!

Blessings!

It has been a busy 2 weeks.  I have tried to post 3 times and blogger wouldn't work for me so hopefully this time will work. 

God has been pouring out his blessings on us, literally!

We have been sweating through a very hot summer with almost no rain.  Needless to say for a landscaping company that is not good news.  We had been praying for more work as we were quickly finishing the rush of spring projects that we had lined up.  But for a long time, no calls, no contacts, nothing, nada...  But just as we are getting ready to do the last job on our list, a previous contact asked for an updated proposal and another friend asked for more work to be done.  Thank you, Lord!

We also were praying for rain.  Yesterday, God gave us our own personal rainstorm for 3 hours! Seriously. 

There were large bands of rain on the radar but far north and south of us.  Right in the middle of the radar map was our little storm not even 3 miles wide.  We received a drenching rain and cool breezes!  Thank you, Lord!

Some friends invited us to go blueberry picking with them today.  I had already gotten some at a local u-pick for $10 a gallon.  But today we were able to get almost 5 gallons in an hour and a half for FREE!!  The berries are bigger and sweeter than the other place.  AND the lady told us to come back next Saturday and pick more because they can't get them all and they are falling on the ground!!  Thank you, Lord!

Julia wanted a bedroom make-over for her birthday and this week we were able to finish her curtains and bedspread just in time for my sister and her husband coming to stay with us overnight!  Thank you, Lord!

Today, a man at a garage sale today gave Bob a full size filing cabinet for free, just what we needed to organize our office space!  Thank you, Lord!

A dear friend has offered to post about Julia's ebooks on her blog to help us get the word out.  Her blog is She Looketh Well.  She is also offering a giveaway for the ebooks so check it out.  Thank you, Lord! 

I feel like I could go on and on.  But don't you see the hand of God in all of this?  He is so faithful to do what He says He will do and one of those things is to take care of His children.  He will pour out a blessing if you look to Him. 

Malchi 3:10-11 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.



Psalm 81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.




Psa 34:8-10 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.



 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.


The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.


Thank you, Lord,

Desires of our Hearts

Our Heavenly Father is such a good Father.  He loves us so much.  He often gives us the very desires of our hearts.  Granted, sometimes, He doesn't because they are not the best for us. 

I have always wanted to bake my own bread, from scratch and have it taste really good!!  Almost two years ago, I was blessed to receive a grain mill as a gift from a friend.  Then God provided the funds to buy a bread machine.  So for almost 2 years my family has been blessed to eat wonderful, healthy, homemade bread, rolls and buns!  You know, I don't take it for granted and I don't begrudge the effort.  I know that God provided a heart desire for me.  He is so GOOD! 



So what is your heart's desire?  Ask your Heavenly Father for it and watch to see how He blesses you!!

Thankful,
