I Am Grateful


Do you have time for a cup of tea? I've missed you! Will you join me, my tea sister's? Pour yourself a cup of kindness and let's just take a few minutes to share the Lord's Blessings.
- As I sip on hot spiced tea I once again find myself reflecting back on this year and its final days. Christmas season is my favorite and I intentionally do something special everyday to enjoy it. If its just to make a phone call to connect with a friend and or drop a kind word. Bake and deliver. Random act of kindness. Send out or text love notes to those I love deeply.
The weather is incredibly cold for San Antonio this time of the year. It was 37` this morning on the way to church however I am thoroughly enjoying it. As I reflect I can't help but say 'my goodness' the days are just passing by as a gentle breeze. Seems like only yesterday I was celebrating  a new year January 2012! And recalling what incredible miracles took place in 2011. Before I know it this year will be over too and all I will have is fond memories, choices and their consequences; hopefully a little wiser. As I mature in life I have learned to appreciate family and relationships more each season and intentionally creating great memories!
It is our God that gives me strength to continue with countless hours of prayer, petitions, knee time, fasting and worship! Purging the old and allowing Him to create me a new. It is only then that I can see the beauty in each day and receive His peace and rejoice in it, regardless of the circumstances. Although life has its tidal waves, bridges to cross, restoring broken relationships and reaching the souls of those we are believing for healing and salvation; this too I have learned;  that there is nothing that we can not overcome by the power of 'Jesus, the Son of God. I look to Him to meet my needs and not to government or man. I count my blessings, those whom He has so kindly placed in my path and those by Divine appointments scheduled and orchestrated by God.
The Lord is my provider, my healer and the lover of my soul. By the authority of the Word of God - I have the absolute power to shape my destiny! And so do you! The law of kindness was not always practiced in my life. My heart was broken and my soul, mind and  body was a reflection of that brokenness. Only God! He healed my heart and created me a new one. I am forever grateful! Therefore today, I can proclaim that my hope and trust is in the Lord and it is my desire to serve in kindness and as a witness of His Love; the kind that He has so graciously embraced me with. Rejoice my friend, my sister, my beloved! Make a generous deposit of kindness in someones life! Share kindness today........
