Thankful Thursday ~ Random Thoughts

There are so many things in my life that I am thankful for, so today I will share some random thoughts that come to mind as I am typing out my Thankful Thursday post. We too often get bogged down by the negative things that happen to us, we forget that there are more positive things happening.

Tonight, as I was scanning through my FB feed, I noticed a story one of my friends had shared. The story was about a young girl (17 to be exact), that is fighting stage 4 cancer for the second time. This young lady is all about sharing Christ as she is fighting cancer. Katie Wagner has very dark days behind her, and more to come, but she gives glory to God. She is thankful for being used by Him. Her story is so inspiring to me. Please take a moment to pray for her and her family. I also encourage you to check out her story on her website: We Love Katie.

Last week I had shared that I have several Bible translations in my home. Well, on Monday I received a review copy of a new Women’s Study Bible. Sadly, I have not yet had the chance to dig into it, but the first impression in positive. I will share a more in-depth review on Friday here on my blog. I am thankful that God continues to give me new insights of His Word.

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
(Philippians 4:4 ESV)

I am thankful for the strong community of Christian women around the world-wide-web. It is so amazing to me that women pray for each other from around the globe. We may not ever meet each other this side of heaven, but I know that there will be an awesome party in heaven when we come together. Some days I hardly can wait to meet the sisters in Christ…makes me giddy :).

I am also thankful for three new writers at Laced with Grace. God continues to strengthen the team and sends us women that are not afraid to share their heart. God is good…All the time.

These are just a few items I am thankful for this week. What are you thankful for? Please do share with us by leaving a link to your Thankful Thursday post below.

Please remember that in the month of July, my friend Laurie at “Women Taking A Stand” is hosting Thankful Thursday.

Until next time…live, laugh and love!!!
