THANK YOU, JESUS . . .

Posted on October 11, 2023 by atimetoshare.me

Thanking God for another day may seem meaningless to some. To me, it means I have another 24 hours to spend with the man I married so many years ago and love with all my heart. Each day is a blessing. To wake in the morning, knowing that I’ve been given this time is one of the many gifts God has given me. I treasure each second of life with him. I know that we are both nearing the end of our days here on earth. I realize that death will come at a moment’s notice. I understand that our bodies wear out, are the object of disease and deterioration, and will eventually die. I also know that this is not the end of life. Something so much better is waiting for us on the other side of death.

We have no control over this final surrender. I say that, because we all will face death. We’ve grown accustomed to this life. We’ve suffered through tough times. We’ve shared wonderful moments of joy and satisfaction. We’ve laughed and cried together. We share the common bond of our faith. That is enough reason to thank Jesus for being a part of our lives on this side of eternity. When it seems that we’re trapped in sadness – when we feel pulled from all sides – when our hearts ache at the thought of life without each other – we know that Jesus is our sure defense against all of that. He gives us another day to share His love with each other and others. Therefore, I can pray each morning with complete confidence . . .

THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR ANOTHER DAY. AMEN!

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

    I am a few years behind you in your journey, but not that many. You are such an encouragement. I have seen so much death the last few months that I also never take for granted that I will see tomorrow. Death comes to the young as well as the old. Every day is indeed a special blessing and gift. Prayers God will keep you in this positive frame of mind, no matter what lies ahead. ā¤ļøā¤ļøšŸ™šŸ™

    We never know what the Lord has in store for us in each new day, but I’ve learned every morning before even getting up, to thank Him and praise Him for the day He has prepared. It is a “blessed assurance” to know that He is already before us in the day He has created. God Bless, Sister Kathy. (Enjoy your excursions! šŸ˜‰
