What a blessing~when we leave the choices up to God…He just sends the best! I don’t know what God has in store for your Thankful Thursdays…but I am glad to be part of it. I know that when we were receiving hugs and sympathy from folks that came by to grieve with us over our loss of my sweet sister, a friend/distant cousin hugged my neck and her comment was a blessing … “there’s the Thankful Thursday Girl”….Iris, that let me know that our thankfulness in tough times is extremely important. So we are thankful….and we share it and show it!
Keep on doing what He has called and directed you to do!!!
I love you!!!

I just recently finished my study on Acts! I wrote about it a little in my 8 in 8 post. What a wonderful time it was! I learned so much! Thanks for sharing, and I will try to perform some RAK today!

Rak….I like that. This must be the message of the hour. I know that I have felt to do and have been doing some of the suggestions you mentioned. Yes, God does STILL speak to his people!

I love that layout you made! I only just recently discovered digital scrapping and am kind of looking into it.

I like your goal of reading through one book of the Bible each month. My goal of reading through the entire thing in one year was a little more ambitious than I can handle. It doesn’t take long to fall behind when you need to average 5 chapters a day!! I may have to switch to your method. I’ve been a Christian almost all my life, but I’ve discovered there are countless passages I’ve never actually read through before. Wonderful new discoveries!

If everyone would make “Random Acts of Kindness” a way of life, just imagine what the world would be like. As Christians, we can set good examples for others to follow. Thanks so much for your writing! I love it! I really love the Thankful Thursday’s. You have so many now that I can not visit everyone! For a while I could comment to each one. I look forward to it every week. Thanks again, Iris! You are one very special person.

You are right that making Random Acts of Kindness a way of life is essential and served as such a reminder that I need to practice that more often in my daily life.

Really nice to read how you are doing on your goals and to read your thoughts…especially on the book of Acts…
Wonderful…

How cool that you are in the book of Acts learning about boldness.
They truly had random acts of kinds ready to go by bringing willing to the church just in case they could help someone.
Very refreshing.
And I am glad that God is expanding TT–it is such a necessary reminder in our hectic lives.
Keep putting it out there girl–God is using your willing heart.

Hah! My spam word was GRACE. It just keeps following me no matter where I go!

I am so inspired by your post, and even more sure that Acts is for me next. I just finished Jeremiah today and asked the Lord, what next. This morning, in Bible Study, Henry Blackaby said something about Acts on the DVD, which got me to thinking that that will be next. And here, you mention it. Acts it is!

Thanks for participating, Iris, and for all your encouragement.

Blessings,
Elisa

Iris, what a great reminder for me about random acts of kindness. Of course I try to do them “when I think about it,” but the key is to constantly be aware and conscious of that intention! Good words.
