~Thankful Thursday~
Posted on: July 9, 2008
I want to take the opportunity every Thursday to write a little about what I am thankful for in this life. God has given me SO many blessings in my life and I feel pressed to share with you weekly what the Lord is doing in my life and the lives around me.
Last Friday, 4th of July, a UofL wide receiver was shot outside a downtown Louisville nightclub early Saturday morning after an altercation inside. He was shot in the back in a parking garage in downtown Louisville. That parking garage is the very same garage my husband parks his car in while at work. He could have been there when that gun went off…if it had not been a national holiday. The wide receiver was shot at 19 times and had the bullet hit him four inches in another direction, University of Louisville could have lost a very valuable person…not just a player, but a person. Someone’s son, fiance, friend…you get it.
Most of the time when we hear about a football player involved in a club shooting you are likely to think…”Just another sports player getting in trouble.” But you see, THIS player was kind, considerate, and some would call him “up-lifting”. He worked on the team’s Habitat for Humanity house and would be the first one the coach goes to when bringing a recruit in town. On this “Thankful Thursday“, I am also Thankful that this man was spared by our merciful God. Please check out Sting My Heart for more reasons to be thankful.
What are you thankful for today?

Just a Thought

I was reading my daily devotional from “Encouragement for Today” and was struck by this thought:
Be real in your time with God. Pour out your heart and talk to Him as you would a trusted friend. You can be reverent without being formal.
So when you spend your time with God today…Don’t use all those frilly words…jsut say what you mean and mean what you say.
