Thankful Thursday

“People see God every day,

they just don't recognize him.” 

~Pearl Bailey

Dear God – when life seems overwhelming and things don’t seem to be going the way they should.  When we see others we care about hurting and have no ability to provide comfort.  When the tears flow and stay close to the surface.  Open our eyes to see you – to notice your presence not just with us – but in us.

Thank you Father that we can rejoice and be glad always because…

571.  You hear us when we pray

572.  Jesus is close to the broken-hearted

573.  The Holy Spirit is our Comforter

574.  That You are Emmanuel, God with us

575.  You never leave us or forsake us

576.  You are the same – yesterday, today, forever

Father – for the fun times we are grateful.  Thankful for the joy you lavish…

577.  Bowling together, family and friends

Keep your eyes open for God,

watch for his works;

be alert for signs of his presence. 

Psalm 105:4 (The Message)

The goat. He prefers Swedish or Shiatsu?

I might chuckle about him all day.

Love to you, Nancy.
