“Once again I’ll go over what GOD has done, lay out on the table the ancient wonders; I’ll ponder all the things you’ve accomplished, and give a long, loving look at your acts. O God! Your way is holy! No god is great like God! You’re the God who makes things happen; you showed everyone what you can do…” Psalm 77:11-14 THE MESSAGE
On this Thankful Thursday I’m grateful for so many things. I’d like to start out by thanking God for His precious WORD. Just as the passage above says, it seems like the more I ponder God’s magnificent ways, the more I’m left in awe. Truly, our God is an AWESOME God.
♥ I’m so grateful for all the women who got to attend the “She Speaks” Conference. Oh my, I’ve enjoyed reading all the updates that were written about the event. I can tell that so many lives were deeply touched, and I rejoice with all of you.
♥ I’m also grateful for two very special bloggers who stay busy behind the scenes making two wonderful sites possible. Lori over at “All You Have To Give” and Amy at “In Pursuit of Proverbs 31” are the founders and contributors to the Internet Café and Heart of the Matter Online. Not only are they talented, but their dedication and love overflows through their many hours of service "as unto the Lord” from which we all benefit. Thank you for being such givers and Godly examples. We really appreciate all you do!
♥ Finally I’m thanking God for Iris who graciously hosts this meme each week. I pray God’s blessing upon your life and on your family’s as well. May God reward you for being such a blessing to the Body of Christ.
♥ I'm thankful for all you out there who take the time to stop by each week, your words bless and encourage me greatly.

What an uplifting post, Susan. God bless your thankful heart! Happy TT.
ReplyDeleteHello my precious Susan!
ReplyDeleteSorry it's been a while since I visited. Things are rocking and rolling at the Reeder house, and my blogging has been sporadic at best.
Getting ready to shake things up a bit, though...
Wanna join in an online Bible Study discussion with me? Starting July 7, I am going to be going through Having a Mary Spirit, by Joanna Weaver over at Truly Captivating. Would LOVE IT if you would join me!!
P.S.
I agree... Lori and Amy are both dear, sweet, bloggy blessings!!!
Thank the lord I can visit your blog again, and this time I log on our blog directly! Because often I use anonymouse.org to visit other sisters' blogs, but something wrong with anonymouse, I could not log on it anymore recently. But lucky for me to log on your blog directly!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the scripture you quoted.
Thanks for sharing your TT list...Happy TT!

Yeah - weren't the up-dates of the "She Speaks" conference wonderful? I have enjoyed reading them and I hope that one year I will be able to attend one :)
ReplyDeleteOh, His Word - even though I have read some of the passages over and over - there is always something fresh I can glean off of His Word.
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us.
Be blessed today and always.

Susan,
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for YOU!! You are the ultimate encourager and I can hardly wait to spend some "in person" time with you. I was sad you didn't go to the conference this year but I have a strong feeling you won't miss it next year (July 31-Aug. 2).
I am finally settling back in and adapting to home. It has been a whirlwind week but it has been nice to finally get a chance to stop by your blog. You have lifted my spirits as usual!
Enjoy a beautiful weekend and I'll see ya soon....
Love,
Kelley
Hey Susan,
ReplyDeleteGreat scripture and great TT post.
I have a question I wanted to ask you but couldn't find your email. Would you mind shooting me an email at: chelseyhall at gmail dot com? Thanks! :)
Susan:
ReplyDeleteI would love the pleasure and honor of meeting you one day, face to face. I had the privilege of meeting several sister bloggers this past weekend. We should all really do a weekend somewhere sometime in the future. What fun would that be?!
Anyway, until then, blogging will have to do. Susan, you've been such an encourager of me and my writing. You'll never know what a well that has been for me to draw from on days when the clouds loom thick.
May God continue to bless you this summer with his joy, his favor, and his abundant presence at every turn. These are good days to stand alongside you in his kingdom business.
peace~elaine
I love reading you TT posts...they speak to my heart. Thanks and God bless.
ReplyDeleteSharon
Thanks for welcoming me to Thankful Thursdays Susan! I'm seeing ALOT of helpful tips from the She Speaks conference myself! Seems like it was great! How do I find out more about it?
ReplyDeleteHey Susan,
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to a video of "Hillsong." It is awesome. It is Mike (from Hillsong) talking this song he wrote "Healer." You've probably heard the song. I didn't know, but he's had an aggressive cancer (you may know this as well). He was diagnosed I think 2 years ago.
Here is the link that takes you to their website and this video. It is a 9 minute segment, but will blow you away. (you may have also already seen this).
Enjoy!
