In light of the fact that this month is Thanksgiving, I am once again joining in the 30 Days of Thankfulness challenge. Think about joining me! I find when I dwell on the gifts I am given, and the people love, I am content. There is joy and peace to be found in those with a thankful heart.
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day #1
First and foremost, I am thankful to Jesus. He has wooed me, pursued me, soothed my heart, and drawn me to Him since I was a young girl who did not know how to grieve the loss of her mother. My name, Debra Elizabeth, means "one who seeks the grace of God", and no matter what I've done, or how angry I've been, or how I have questioned God and my faith during times of trials, He is there. Steadfast. Never-changing. Alpha and Omega. My almighty, awesome, sweet Savior. He is as real to me today as He was eighteen years ago when He captured my heart.
Thank you, dear Jesus, for never letting me go, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Jeremiah 29:11 - 14: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity."
I will join you in the 30 days of thankfulness. I have so much to be thankful for, and yet way too often I focus on the negative... thanks for the challenge!
