Sometimes in life it seems struggles can pile up. We all go through down times when we feel that we are not where we are supposed to be in life. Then mix in physical struggles and life can seem so lonely and sparse. We can not give up hope, however!
I love that verse that talks about this same theme.
1 Thessalonians 5:18: In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
I have had my shares of struggles this year, but I have learned that if you are going through a struggle look up because your deliverance is coming.
One way to make your struggles seem small is to turn to the truths found in living thankful lives. When we replace negativity with thankfulness, we focus on God’s provisions and goodness. Our outlooks change. With the change comes miracles and new found love.
Thankfulness is a state of being. It is part of the cross that we deliberately choose to pick up each day as we follow Christ. To celebrate Thankfulness, I have created a Fall Bible study and journey that I invite you to join with me.
I know our lives are busy this season; so, I pledge to keep each day short and to the point. Even though the posts will be short, I plan to pack them with inspiration and Scriptural truths as we lead up to the Thanksgiving holidays and then flow into Christmas. This series is my gift to you.

I will be contributing to numerous blog hops found on my Link-up Parties page.
I am thankful for everything God has done. When I sit and think about it, it is more than I can mention.
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs Mary
