Spoken Word

Hello Everyone,
Hope you are all doing well. I saw one of my little sisters-in- Christ yesterday and she sent me this youtube link. It fired me up and spoke to me on a different level. Thank you Jonelle :). None of us is perfect, but we are all given a choice and the opportunity to manifest His glory.

Check out this spoken word:

ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!
It is definetly, a food for thought piece.

Heart of Gratitude

Greetings Family,
For those of you, who may be thinking "im not in her, family" lol. Yes, you are. The same God who calls me His, also refers to you as his daughters and sons. So, in being his children, we are family. :)))))

THANKFUL
Today's post comes from a heart filled with gratitude. God has done so many amazing things in my life, that I would not have enough time or room to fill this blog. Literally, a storehouse of blessings that I could have never bought or earned. This weekend, Thanksgiving is usually a time where people gather with friends and family and enjoy a meal. For some it may be a joyful occasion and for others not so great. Whatever season of life you may be in, I encourage both to give thanks to God for his goodness and his faitfulness to carry us through.

Scripture states:

" In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
1 Thessalonians 5:18

I begin by giving God thanks for Life, which we sometimes take for granted in the hustles and bustles of every day life. For my family, those near and far I give God thanks for you and pray his continual protection and blessings over your lives as you live each day for him. I give thanks for fooooooddd- including garlic tea which healed my cold this week! LOL. There's more but I will just include this last tid-bit.

Most importantly, thank you God for Jesus. Through every trial that I have had to face, for every time I wanted to turn and run the other way. For every blessing, for every person he sent along my path. For every revelation that I have received, for every form of discipline you used to shape me and all of YOUR LOVE- in being my Father and sending your Son, Jesus so that I may have eternal life ("For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16). I look forward to being reunited with you, my mother and other family members who have gone onto glory. I give thanks.



I leave you with the lyrics of a song, my family has shared with me:


"Give thanks, with a grateful heart.

Give thanks, to the Holy One,

Give thanks because he's given Jesus Christ his Son."

And now, let the weak say I am strong,

Let the poor say I am rich,

because of what the Lord has done, for us.

Give Thanks..."


LOVESSSS YA,
Natasha ;-)
