Thankful Thursday

Yesterday as I was preparing the guest bedroom for some upcoming visitors, I stole a few moments to read the Bible I have on a decorator table in the room. (As you might surmise, focusing on a task and sticking to it is not always my strong suit.) I let the Bible "fall" open and began reading where it landed.

One of the verses I read was Proverbs 18:4: "Wise words are like deep waters; wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook." At that moment I knew what my Thankful Thursday post would be...

I consider myself blessed that God has placed some very wise people in my life. I am thankful for each one whether they are male or female, young or old, or near or far.

What are you thankful for today?

P.S. I am also thankful and thrilled that this family has a court date for their daughter in Ethiopia. Soon they will travel to Ethiopia to bring home two children to their family.

What a beautiful passage. I often pray that I will speak with wisdom and not what I think needs to be said.
I think it's great that you have a Bible on your guest room night stand!

I am thankful for "Jesus Chrsit, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." Titus 2:14
I agree with the others, I love these Thankful Thursdays.
