A Week of Thanksgiving! (Day 5)

“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Ephesians 5:19-20

Today, I am thankful for . . .

Ministry. The fact that God can use someone like me always amazes me!

A Week of Thanksgiving! (Day 4)

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving

let your requests be made known unto God.”

Philippians 4:6

Today, I am thankful for . . .

My family. Though we are all far from perfect, God has given us all the desire to serve Him and live for Him. I honestly have a wonderful family.

A Week of Thanksgiving! (Day 3)

“I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and will call upon the name of the Lord.”

Psalm 116:17

Today, I am thankful for . . .

All that God uses to grow me to be more Christ-like – the good things as well as the bad. Painful though it might be at times, God has used even the difficult times to help me grow closer to Him.

A Week of Thanksgiving! (Day 2)

 “In every thing give thanks:

For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Today, I am thankful for . . .

God’s Word. God has used it so much in my life this year to show me where I have failed, to encourage me, to convict me, and to guide me. It is indeed the road-map for life.

A Week of Thanksgiving! (Day 1)

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise:

Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.”

Psalm 11:4

Today, I am thankful for . . .

God – for His love, His grace, His mercy, His faithfulness, His power, His strength, and my list could go on and on. He is continually showing me just how great He is and how much I truly need Him in every part of my life.

A Week of Thanksgiving!

Feel free to copy this photo and use for your own blog!!

I know many girls have challenged their readers with 31 days of thanksgiving, but I thought that we would add to the thankfulness challenges with a simple week of thanksgiving here at Rubies Like Ruth.

Starting Sunday, November 20, 2011, I challenge you to daily list things for which  you are thankful– especially things that have taken place since last Thanksgiving. But do not just list them. Stop and lift up a prayer to God, thanking Him for the extra blessings He has bestowed on you this year.

Ideas to help you:

     ~Post the your thankfulness on your blog (you do not have to include our photo)

     ~Write your thankfulness on an index card, decorative paper, or whiteboard in your room

     ~Post it on Facebook (if you have an account)

     ~And, we would be honored if you slipped by every day and shared your thankfulness with us via comments

We look forward to you joining us for this time of reflecting on God’s blessings.
