I am thankful for so much! My family, friends, church, home, health … so much! But right now I just have to thank God for last night!
We sell Christmas trees here on our farm. Since Thanksgiving, I haven’t been able to attend Wednesday night intercessory prayer at church because David couldn’t leave the tree lot to watch our daughter. My heart yearned to be there, but my hands were tied.
Finally last night I was able to go! Hallelujah!
Oh, I have no words to describe how REFRESHING it was to be in God’s presence in such a high level of corporate worship! I literally felt like I was standing under a water fall of living water. I didn’t realize how parched I was until I was splashed with that heavenly liquid.So now, I am refreshed, on FIRE, excited, and the flame within my belly has been fanned. I am ready to face a new day.
I AM SO THANKFUL for Pastor Taylor Stewart! I am thankful for his fire and passion for Jesus! I am thankful to have a senior pastor who has a heart for intercession and is FREE to walk in his calling. I am so thankful King’s Park International Church!
I’m thankful for God’s love, His wonderful Son, and the Precious Holy Spirit.

Dear Beth,
I love having friends that come visit my blog and leave me a comment. I appreciate you! Thank you for your visits. I have been so busy that it is difficult to get time to read blogs and write a note, but I love to do it.
I am looking forward to next week when we can finally all have a break and enjoy the holidays.
So, you sell fresh Christmas trees, and I have an artificial one…I am sorry to all you hard working tree growers. I love fresh trees.
Have a wonderful day, Beth. (I have a daughter named Elizabeth also, and I think it is the most beautiful name ever!)
Love, Hope 🙂
that is how I feel Beth when I have been to the gym and have praised God and let Him know my needs and needs of others. I know it is not a church but it is true He is as close as the mention of His name and I can walk out of the gym feeling not only physically better but spiritually strengthened as well.
Beth you probably already pray for my parents but there are so many health issues there i worry they won’t be around next Christmas. I have peace about that I know they would be with the Lord if not with me but my sister is not at peace and the fear is causing her blood to rise and she has horrible headaches and I am so worried she will have a stroke. Her husband just started a new job and there insurance will not start until January so she can’t even afford to go to the doctor. Right now, she needs the Great Physican anyway. Her name is Anita and my mom and dad are Ruth and George, I really appreciate the prayers.
Love,
Lisa

I am go glad you found joy and fulfillment in your church.
And I am thankful for your your heartfelt words on my comments too.
I love hearing how others are “brought to life” when in the presence of our Heavenly Father. We know we are running low but don’t realize how low until He fills us back up. What a blessing to be able to go last night. I am thankful for you, too!!! Thank you for sharing. blessings.
It’s awesome to spend time in God’s presence with fellow believers. God knows you needed it 🙂
Your grateful heart shines sweetie.
Isn’t it a joy to be able to have the freedom to worship?! To worship Him without looking over or shoulders or being fearful of being arrested? I am so thankful for the freedom to worship Him.
