The Sprucing and the Thanking
Sprucing up my space at Village Antiques for the after Thanksgiving weekend sale. Stop by and peruse at your pleasure, all items 20% off at the Bungalow!
Before we rush into the shopping phase, I wish you and yours a very special Thanksgiving!
We do have much to be thankful for, if we really look. Maybe you are one of those who will be alone, sick, facing enormous relational challenges, or enduring financial setbacks. Whatever your current situation, won't you join me in giving thanks? Giving thanks to God.
"The brave who focus on all things good and all things beautiful and all things true, even in the small, who give thanks for it and discover joy in the here and now, they are the change agents who bring fullest Light to all the world. When we lay the soil of our hard lives open to the rain of grace and let joy penetrate our cracked and dry places, let joy soak into our broken skin and deep crevices, life grows. How can this not be the best thing for the world? For us? The clouds open when we mouth thanks." ~ Ann Voskamp, "One Thousand Gifts"
and may I share with you, appeal to you, if you are struggling to find reason to give thanks this year...consider this, the best reason of all...
"For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." ~ Romans 3:22~24
