Faithful Friday - You

JoyButton
Today is Faithful Friday.  (click the button to be taken to other Faithful Friday posts.) I have been absent from blogging, because my heart has been torn about public verses private. So I just stepped back and didn’t know what to do. Then this morning I saw a tweet, and it said “Write that blog post…. Get it done! The world needs YOUR message!” WOW! Talk about a hit upon the noggin to get back to here.. It was by Sandi Krakowski. For all you that twitter, she is awesome.

With this, I am going to start by saying that God has told me, not to let Satan destroy what is of his. And there fore this blog will remain public. I didn’t know what to do, but God has shown me this week that my absence isn’t needed. That I don’t need to hide our life from those people that I have no desire to allow in. God has this under control. And if 1 post helps one person, then that’s all that I need. And sharing our lives with those we love, and the journaling of our lives are both added bonuses.

So today I am here to share something.

I can’t stop thanking God for you! Eph 1:16

This is such a powerful scripture! Oh my! I can’t stop thanking God for all my yous!…..
Jesus, Because God gave his only Son for us! Yes all of us! (Check out this song by Chris Howard) click there for the song.
For my wonderful husband, who stands beside me always! He is truly my bestest friend!
For my Daugthers! Both Lil E and K Bugs are such a blessing!
For all the Birth Moms out there! You are special and appreciated!
For my parents! They are the greatest!!!! And I know my sweet Momma is smiling down on us!
For the Grandparents in our lives!
For You, My friends new and old that read my blog! I love hearing from yall too btw.
For all my family near and far!
For you, my family in Christ! All my brothers and sisters of the Lord!
For my friends that never grace by my blog here.
For my special  best girl friends! I can’t imagine my life without them!
For you, all the past, present and future US Military Members! Man we couldn’t do this with you! This is huge, this past weekend our local community laid to rest an American Hero, a US Solider that has been killed early in Sept in Afghanistan. It was nice to see our community pull together and protect his family from the protestors, as well as to see everyone so united.
For you the small business owners that keep things real.
For you the people that support the small businesses.
For you, all the volunteers!
For you, the foster and adoptive families! It’s sometimes very stressful, but it is OH SO REWARDING!
For you, the Medical Field Worker helping others!
For you the Firefighter and EMTs! You know the ones, the ones that run in, when the rest are running out!
For you, the Police/ Sheriff that have a lot to do, and see so much!
For you, the Pastor and Ministers out there! Spreading the Gospel and showering this world with Christ’s love!
For you to teachers, homeschool, private school, or public school, for taking the time to teach others.
For you, each and everyone of you that has given your life to Christ! And this week, I am delighted to say one of my best friends, who has had a lot of doubt and uncertainty gave her life to Christ! Praise be to God!

I could go on and on and on! So even though things aren’t just the way we want them in our lives, you know what we are very blessed people with alot of yous to be thankful for!  And yes, each of you that reads this blog, I am thankful for you, just as it says! And you may fit into more than one of the you’s. You are special and loved!

Happy and Blessed Friday!
Hugs and Blessings,

Patty,

I'm SO glad! I love it when God speaks as plain as He did to you about keeping your blog open! I always say I need a neon sign....that was your neon sign! lol!

Your post today really encouraged me. I do sometimes get discouraged because people ought to be sharing Jesus more (I should be sharing Jesus more). Faithful Fridays aren't the most popular thing. But God tells us to keep on keeping on. If it helps ONE person along the way, then it's worth it. So for that reason, it will continue.

Thank you for participating! :)

I thank God for all those people too! Each one is special!

God bless you, Patty!

Hugs,
Tammy
