the Lord showed me something HUGE today.
what I love about it is that the big things always seem to come in the smallest, yet greatest whispers.
I've been thinking a lot lately about how thankful I am for the things I have been given in my life. I feel like every day I'm even more awed by the blessings I've received. I've been pretty diligent in having a spirit of thankfulness, because honestly, it's just been over flowing. But I keep thinking that there has to be something more I can do to show and convey my thankfulness to Him...I just didn't know what.
Today in church...there it was. We were talking about the abilities that God has given us, how each of us are "originals"...because God doesn't make copies. So in response to anything good in our life, thankfulness for the things we've been given (we were talking about abilities, but I think it applies to anything) is shown by then going out and LIVING the thankfulness- i.e. using those abilities, or showing the love we've been given, using our gratefulness as an out-pouring onto others. The spiritual response for thankfulness is to SAY it- and the physical response is to LIVE it- to turn that "thankfulness energy" into love, compassion, mercy, grace...because that's what I've been shown.
WOW.
oh, that I would be able to live that.
"faith that moves forward triumphs."
