“For many say they are thankful in their lives..but their words don’t line up with them actually living a life of thankfulness..Amen..because our words pour from our hearts..Amen..and we are to say so when we are thankful..our words that we speak always be should be full with gratitude and thankfulness to the Lord for everything that He has done and continues to do in our lives..Amen..for the word says that we are to enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise be thankful unto Him and bless His name..Psalm 100:4..Amen..for many are always wanting more..or looking around at everyone else and their lives and wanting what they have..and in return not ever being thankful for what they already have..but all the while wanting more..Amen..but this is truly the thing..if we can’t be thankful for what we already have in our lives..what makes you think that you’re gonna get more..Amen..because thankfulness and being thankful starts within you..Amen..remembering where you were in life..to where you are now in life..remembering what struggles and situations the Lord has already brought you out of..Amen..thanking Him for delivering you from the hands of the enemy..protecting you from things that could’ve literally destroyed you and your life..for not answering every prayer the way that you thought He should have..always showing up on time every time for you and your life..for giving you peace in the midst of a storm..for quieting you when fear surrounded you..for sending the friend to speak words of encouragement over you when you wanted to give up..for showing favor towards you all the while knowing that you didn’t deserve it but He gave it anyways..Amen!”

“For we all could go on and on about the Lord and His goodness to us..so thankfulness is a must in our lives..thankfulness keeps us grounded..keeps us from getting that haughty spirit..keeps us from being proud and boastful..keeps us from wanting the glory when the glory only belongs to the Lord..Amen..so listen to you as you speak..listen to the words that you are saying from your lips and your mouth..make sure that you are being thankful to the Lord..in good times and in bad ones..because seasons are there in our lives..and they do come and go..we have them and will always have them..but who we are and how we deal with them..is the part that we wanna make sure lines up with what we beleive and how we respond through them all..Amen..so be ye thankful always..always give God praise for your life and for all that He gives and for all that He does..and daily so..Amen..and quit comparing your life to the life of someone else..enjoy your journey wherever it may be at..grow and learn where you are for where you are is not where you’ll always be..change happens..so get what you need where you are and when its your time you will move on..but to be thankful in every season that is a gift and that is the blessing for you and your life..that is the place as to where true victory and love for Jesus shines ever so brightly..Amen..so we thank Him this day and every day that follows..we love Him always for who He is..and not for what He does..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
