Thankful

Ah, Fall. 🍁A time of harvest, a time of reaping. A time of blessings. A time for family. A Time To Be Thankful. 
I've been on Facebook for years now, and realize that I hardly know most of you. There are many I have lost touch with, and I wouldn't mind hearing about your story, about what YOU are THANKFUL for. 😊
As for me, I am most thankful for my Faith in God and my little Family. God has either used our circumstances or has altered our course over these past 14 years to lead us where we are today. We've trusted him in the process, and sometimes we fought him. But in the end, HE knew better. (More to come on this later.)
And our little family? Well, it's been the most special gift of all. Two children to love, and a husband that is pretty much amazing. I have a comedian, drum playing daughter, and a compassionate, violin playing, singing son. Neither of them are normal, and neither are their parents. 😂
My husband,James, is hardworking, has an incredibly high degree of integrity, is highly esteemed by his senior colleagues, and has shown himself to be an amazing leader, both at work and at home. I am truly blessed in my circumstance. 
And no, we don't have everything figured out. No, we don't have a perfect, yell free family. YES we struggle with the same issues everyone else does. Yes we deal with trials and tribulations, but we have FAITH. Faith in God that He will see us through NO MATTER WHAT! He has a plan.
So what are you thankful for? Drop me a comment below! I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you!
Love,
Bek

    I am also thankful for my faith in Christ which has grown tremendously over the past 4 years, considering I wasnt a believer before then. My three children are my heart and I am so blessed that God gave them to me and made me a mother. I am thankful for my hardworking husband and the trials we went through over 2 years ago that dragged us through hell and to the path of divorce. If it wasn't for our church family and Jesus Christ we wouldn't be together today. Satan would have won, but he didn't and he never will. And today we are stronger than we have ever been. THAT, I am truly thankful for.

      Aw, Liz, you are my first commenter like ever! Thank you for taking time out to comment. And YES! Isn't God awesome?! He can take what is dying and make it new. He can mend what is broken! I am so glad to be part of your church family. :)

Proverbs 3:5-6 King James Version (KJV) “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 New King James Version (NKJV) “5  Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;  6  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall  [ a ] direct your paths.” (Footnote on direct: make smooth or straight.) Proverbs 3:5-6 New Living Translation (NLT) “5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” You are probably wondering why I have the same verse from Proverbs in three translations. Well, it’s pretty simple actually. My favorite verse of the bible just sounds best in the King James version. The language is beautiful.  But,  the New Living Translation really hits home for me.

This cup and God's Strength

Luke 22:39-46  (NIV) Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives 39  Jesus went out as usual   to the Mount of Olives,   and his disciples followed him. 40  On reaching the place, he said to them,   “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”   41  He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down   and prayed,   42  “Father, if you are willing, take this cup   from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”   43  An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44  And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. [ b ] 45  When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.   46  “Why are you sleeping?”   he asked them.   “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” Emphasis added. So Jesus, our Savior, after having supper with the Apostles is on...
