Take My Life

Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise. Let them flow in ceaseless praise. Verse 2: Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of Thy love; Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee. Swift and beautiful for Thee. Verse 3: Take my voice, and let me sing Always, only, for my King; Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from Thee. Filled with messages from Thee. Verse 4: Take my silver and my gold: Not a mite would I withhold; Take my intellect, and use Ev'ry pow'r as Thou shalt choose. Ev'ry pow'r as Thou shalt choose. Verse 5: Take my will, and make it Thine, It shall be no longer mine; Take my heart, it is Thine own, It shall be Thy royal throne. It shall be Thy royal throne. Verse 6: Take my love, my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure store; Take myself, and I will be, Ever, only, all for Thee. Ever, only, all for Thee. Words: Frances R. Havergal 1874.

Thankful for Forgiveness

It's something we can all struggle to give, but are so grateful to receive. I pray that I continue to grow in forgiveness to others and lead by example. Grace is a gift you gave us and it never expires. What a precious thing to be thankful for!

Day of Thanks

Let every day be our day of Thanks. Today I am thankful for my job. How it has sustained and grown Grace and I. Lord, I pray that I am continually seeking your will for my life and that I learn when you are calling me to something else and that I have the courage to obey.

Catching up on my Thanks

Thankful to you Every Day, Oh Lord, My God. But know there is value in documenting it here. It's a blessing to look back and read and be reminded of ALL that you have given us. I am grateful for: The Beauty you created us women to be... inside and out. I tend to underestimate the power of the beauty you have given us as women. I believe for a while there I abused the privilege of this beauty and am still learning how to properly use it's power to better your kingdom. I am grateful for: your provisions. You keep my paths straight and lately when I step off course, you quickly reach for my hand and gently guide me back. I know you are always with me and I am so grateful for that. I am grateful for: My family. I pray and look forward to the day that Grace and i become a full family with a male lead to fill the roll that only a man can provide. But until then, I am grateful for her uncles, her grandpa and even her dad for what they bless her and I with when they are able. I am grateful for: my church family. LOVE my pastors each for their own styles of preaching and teaching. I am grateful for: my friends. The always understanding ones who show me much grace and love. I pray that I return those precious gifts to them in the same manner in which they are given.

Day 15 of ThankFULLness

Thank you Lord for the blessings of food in my tummy, clothes on my back and shoes on my feet. Lord, today I pray that I put into action my awareness that there are those who go without these basic needs. Lord, Use me to glorify your word and help those with these needs.

Songs and Smile

Two blessings Lord, that you have given me daily. Songs and Smiles. Thank you Lord for the beautiful gift of ears to hear. Thank you Lord for the beautiful gift of eyes to see smiling faces. Thank you Lord for lips to give both smiles and songs in return.

13th day of Thanks Giving

Thank you Lord for Life. I don't always understand it, I don't always appreciate it (the way that I should) but I DO thank you for this Gift of Life. I want, i truly want to revel in EACH single day that you have given. Each apart from the others. At times they all seem the same, but i know they are not, EACH uniquely different, and EACH day a blessing from you.
