Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We have officially entered the HOLYday Season and it is all about the HOLY One-Jesus!
We shall ever..."Give thanks to the Lord for He is good and His love endures forever" (Psalm 107:1).
Have a blessed day, a blessed week, a blessed Novermber, a blessed December...we're on the homestretch for 2011...almost over.
Christian love and holy hugs!
FYI, our brother the apostle Paul wrote, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us" (Romans 8:18).

Daisy...You gave me homework..thanks. I was reading Psalm 118:1, it also says "Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!"
Daisy? not real sure what Holy Season means..did we talk about this last year?
Colossians 3:17 - "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." This strength and power that Jesus provides to all the people who believe Him. Whatever we do, we do it through Jesus. So, we should thank him for loving us.
Ok, need to get busy again. Chat.... hmm, soon.

Love that daisy...HOLYday season!!
Friends,
I have a prayer request:
My cousin, Scott, has just been diagnosed with Stage III cancer. I am not sure of all the details yet, but I think it is esophageal and stomach.
He sees the Oncologist tomorrow to determine the plan of Rx.
Please pray for him! Thank you dear friends.

Hugs friends, it's so good to see you here
Dekrator, I will pray for your cousin Scott. Will you keep us updated as you learn more? With our God, nothing is impossible.
The verses MDW and Daisy posted above reminded me of a song. This would be a good one to fall asleep to while singing in our hearts. "Forever" by Chris Tomlin:
Good night!

G'day, Good Day, and God Day to EVERYONE!
sammy, It's so great to see you on God Thought. Thanks for sharing the song...we are so blessed that it IS forever! And where there will be no more tears. "No more tears" I think that covers everything!
MDW, I was just being silly and playing with words on that HOLYday instead of holiday.
Dekrator, So very sorry about Scott. Praying for God's encouragement and blessings to all the family...and expecially His healing touch. May God give the doctors and family wisdom on how to proceed and we pray for a good outcome.
Lymetoo, Hugs.
Do you know what God's thoughts towards you and me are? Let me find the verse...I know it's in my favorite psalm...139.
"How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! If I would count them, they are more than the sand" Psalm 139:17-18).
FYI, God is thinking about us.

Psalm 139:17-18 is awesome, daisy! It's hard to imagine that God's precious thoughts about us number more than the sand.
Wow, we are blessed!!!!

If you have never received the Lord Jesus Christ and experienced new life in Him, you can do it right now. Let this simple prayer be a guide:
Dear Lord, I confess that I am a sinner and that I have come short of your glory. But I believe that You love me and that Jesus died on the Cross for my sins. I confess
with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in my heart that You have raised Him from the dead. I now receive Your wonderful gift of salvation through Jesus Christ my Lord, and I ask you to fill me with
Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, Amen.
If you prayed that prayer and meant it in your heart, you have just entered into a new and wonderful relationship with God.
All the blessings and promises of God, and the saving benefits of the Lord Jesus Christ belong now to you. Receive your healing now--in Jesus' name

Good Morning,
Dekartor, always good to see your faithful posts encouraging all of us.
fflutterby, thank you for including the prayer for people to receive Jesus. What a great idea! I never thought of that. And what a great time with the HOLYdays coming up. Make Thanksgiving and Christmas all the more special!
Jesus is the reason for the HOLYdays...I mean the Season.
Have a great day counting your blessings...and it will surprise you what the Lord has done! He is so good!

Dekrator,
Prayers sent your way and for Scott. I am sorry for his ordeal.
flutterby,
Thanks for the prayer. It is so simple isn't it, to become a Believer. All we have to do is ask.
Tutu,
That little girl is amazing; God has certainly given her a gift.
Please continue prayers for my father-in-law, Bill, he is still being cared for by hospice and is holding his own.
Take care and God bless.

Good Morning,
It's a beautiful day in Oklahoma...cold at 35*...both the full moon and the sun shining When I drove to work it was nice and warm in the car...sure glad we have a garage.
Not yet checked out the links, look forward to watching them.
This morning I was singing this beautiful song "Eternity". Following are the words.
"I will be Yours You will be mine Together in the eternity Our hearts of love will be entwined Together in the eternity Forever in the eternity (repeat)
No more tears of pain, in you eyes No more fear or shame for we will be with You Yes we will be with You
I wil be yours, You will be mine Together in the eternity Our hearts of love will be entwined Together in the eternity
We will worship We will worship You forever"
Have a blessed day!

daisy,
Beautiful lyrics you were singing this morning.
I don't recognize them without the music...I'll try to find it on youtube.
It's getting cold here in PA too. We were lucky and had several 65 degree days, but that's over now.
Praying for everyone!!

Friends,
Here is an update about my cousin Scott and his recent cancer diagnosis:
He had a test to see if the cancer is Stage III or Stage IV.
I have not heard the results of that test.
The Dr told him he will need 13 weeks of chemo, then radiation, and then surgery.
It will be a long road. Please continue to keep Scott in your prayers.
Thank you so much!

Good afternoon,
Linky, praying for your father-in-law.
Dekrator, praying for your cousin. I really liked reading about the fork.
fflutterby, I pray you are doing better this day. I like the prayer you posted...I remember when I said the special prayer with my heart and how it made me feel.
daisy, 35 is cold..brr. Eternity is a beautiful song, I have heared a few times on the radio.
Sammy, I read you have been having some rough days, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I also enjoyed listening to your song, Forever.
Dkat, I pray you are doing well heart friend, miss you.
With the posts and songs and link that has been shared, I have a song by PFR
I'm remembering the words inside my head I heard them yesterday.
A whisper telling me that life waits up ahead Beyond the day-to-day.
Though this world will lend me my fair share of pain, Leave me broken and bruised
I know there's a Father and His Son who know my name And they will see me through. Oh yes, I know.
I believe He paid the price a sacrifice so we could be together forever.
And I know when I see Jesus' face all my tears will be erased forever.
Hidden in my heart the day He called me friend the day He set me free.
I found Him one summer day or better said, Jesus You found me.
I gave You my loneliness and broken heart, Oh! You gave to me Your love. Your love!
I believe He paid the price a sacrifice so we could be together forever.
And I do believe I'll see the face of Jesus and we'll both embrace together. Forever.
All in my prayers friends. Have a peaceful eve.

"Meet Me In The Meadow" share....
Blessed in the Little Things
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits-who crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things. Psalm 103:1,5
Little things, though simple in their demonstration, can be great in their significance in our lives. A harvest of joy can be received from the sowing of little things that spontaneously flow from a giving heart, and come to us freely from a gracious God. ``Welcome and make ours whatever good, though small, the present brings--kind greetings, sunshine, song of birds, and flowers--with a child's pure delight in little things. -R.C. Trench
Into our lives, in many simple, familiar, homely ways, God infuses this element of joy from the surprises of life, which unexpectedly brighten our days, and fill our eyes with light. He drops this added sweetness into His children's cup, and makes it to run over. -S. Longfellow

Hello my sisters and brothers in Christ.
daisyrlb - It is so true about counting our blessings. The more I count the less my shortcomings seem.
MDW005 - How beautiful, the little things...that is really what it is all about !
linky123 - Yes it is simple and sets us free. I am praying for your father in law.
Lymetoo - WOW !!! Her voice is a voice of an angel, sends the chills through me. How very beautiful.
Sammy thanks for posting "Forever." This is one of my favorites. Praying for you to have some good days.
Dekrator48 still praying for Scott, may the Lord our God carry him through these 13 weeks.
Just checking in and getting ready to settle down. I am praying blessings of health and happiness for all of you tonight. Yay tomorrow is Friday and we have made it through another week, God is good.
I thank Him for allowing me to rise and work and take care of my family. Even if it means pushing through and pretending everything is ok. I am pulling it off. Hallelujah !!
Restarted my mepron and need prayers that I can tolerate it this time.

Update on 8 yr old Gage, who has brain cancer. He is off treatment until his liver enzymes come down.
-
From his mom...
Well, we are still off treatment. This stinks; but, is necessary for Gage's liver to take a break. Pray that tomorrow, when we do blood work, we see a reduction in the liver enzymes. Gage has been stressed out that he is no longer on treatment.
Last night he and Dan prayed together that God would take away his fear. He had a great night after they prayed and he slept in his own bed. We are trying to help him not worry because worry is from satan and not from God.
God knew Gage would go off when he did and God knows what he's doing with Gage's life. So, tomorrow is a BIG day for Gage's blood work. Liver enzymes need to come down. Pray with us.
Switching gears, Dane had his first Junior High basketball game tonight. He is still home schooled; but, is playing A team for a private school he used to attend. They have two Junior High teams total, Dane is in 6th grade, A and B team.
He made A team and scored 16 points tonight. I am so proud of him. My kids need a big night or day or event. It's been a bit crazy around here for a while. I am so excited for him and he was so excited.
Gage and the girls were there to cheer him on. Dane is also playing in the championship football game Sat night. He is having a fun week and his excitement blesses me and amazes me.
God has made a way for my other kids to attend classes for home schooler's, play sports, go to dance, be mostly normal while we have a precious one on this demanding treatment.
God has taken care of the details. He loves details. I hate them so he and I have a great understanding going. I TRY to do what he asks and he takes care of the details. Thanking God tonight for this moment, this time, this very day that we are together as a family enjoying a little bit of normal.
I will let you know how the blood turns out. Enjoy the moment, the day, the memory.
Believing, Missy

Good evening friends!
Just popping in to share some scriptures:
But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. Deuteronomy 4:29 (NIV)
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:2 (NIV)
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9 (NIV)
10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
Praying for everyone, dear friends!!

Good evening friends!
I love this song...my grandsons and I were singing it in the car on the way home from church and breakfast Sunday morning...
This evening I was driving down a lane, not far from our house, when a large deer jumped right across the road in front of me.
It damaged our Suburban's bumper, fender, grill and headlight.
The deer didn't make it. I was not hurt.
I was heading to Deven's indoor soccer practice and it was already dark at 5:30 pm.
I thank God that it was not worse and I was not hurt.
I'm glad I was not in a smaller car or it may have been different. That deer was running full speed.

Dekrator, Thats so sweet, you singing with your Grandsons ! "Love has come for us all" What a wonderful thing to teach our children. My dd and I sing and dance everytime we hear this song.
We just stop whatever we are doing and find each other ! Love it
Oh my, hitting a dear is scary. We have tons of them here and we really have to be careful at dusk. I am glad you are ok !!!
Praying for all of my God thought friends, I hope all of you are feeling good today !
Found this on today and thought I would share it:
Only someone facing or sharing a serious sickness, pain or tragedy knows how hard it is. They know how hard it is to cope with the fear and uncertainty. They know how absurd it sounds when someone first tells them to "keep a positive attitude". They know how terrifying it is when the doubt comes. They know how hard it is to throw a mountain into the sea. But remember what Jesus told us in Matthew 17:19-20 when he said "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, `Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Faith as small as a mustard seed sounds a little like hope to me, and that's a good start.
God bless you on your healing journey.

Dekrator, I am so happy God was watching over you this eve, and you were unharmed. how precious singing with the grandchildren...memories. little twinkle blessings.
fflutterby, I enjoyed reading the scripture you post about faith. I was watching a very good online service this eve...Wow, it was an amazing service...changing our character...wow did I say wow? Let me find real quick one of the verses shared in the service...... Here we go, yes, Galations 2:19-20 ( the weeks are about, God happens while we're busy making other plans)
19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
That is powerful! The service discussed how God wants to change our character...all of it. What we do with our new life now is what's important, what counts from now on...stop trying to fix the past.
Hebrews 12:2-3
Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed--that exhilarating finish in and with God--he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!
I am so pumped, what a great service it was...time to go study before bed.
hugs and prayers
ps...preacher also talked about how God changed Moses' and Pauls character.

Thanks sammy! I think if I had been driving a smaller car that sits low, that deer may have gone throught the windshield.
Hugs and prayers back at you!!

Thanks...scary time...I can still see that deer coming across the road, then BIG THUMP!
Wow, powerful stuff you shared this eve..thanks!!
Beautiful song and scripture. I can feel your excitement! Hugs and prayers!!

Dekrator, it was a service I really needed to hear this night...awesome and deep it was. Yes, the preacher even talked about how it's not "how" much we do for the Lord, as it is how we do it. What is a Christian.
I remember in my younger days, I had a really nice sports car...I really liked that car. I worked the night shift at the hospital, and on my way to work (speeding 70), a deer had been hit by an on coming car, stunned the deer. Well this guy had pulled to the side of the road with his lights on and blinded my vision. The deer was in the middle of my lane....I smacked him so hard it crushed the front end of my car into the windshield....I do not know how I survived and stepped out without a scratch on me. That was such a shock...did not make it to work that night. I thank God you are safe dear friend. Good night, and peaceful sleep to you.

Thanks for sharing what you are learning from the service, MDW!
Wow, it sounds like you were more than lucky...blessed actually, walking away from that deer accident without a acratch.
Thanks, dear friend, hope you also sleep well.
Last night and again today, I watched a DVD that a friend loaned to me.
It was Dr Creflo Dollar, a preacher (in GA, I think,) preaching about hell....wow, very powerful message he got across, by the depiction of what hell might be like...very scary.
Thank you, Jesus...because of You, we do not have to experience hell.

Good morning family,
I went to Bible class this morning. I will share a Psalm that was part of class this day.... Psalm 100 A Psalm Giving Thanks.
1. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
2. Serve the lord with gladness! come into his presence with singing!
3. Know the Lord, he is good! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4. Enter the gates with thanksgiving. and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
5. For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Class was about Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24 The Lord God will seek them out.
What a great read! " For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out".... I let you read the rest if you like. Awesome class.
Tomorrow night I will be attending a fellowship dinner with the boys joining in another class...Never been to a dinner...excited and scared a wee bit.
There will be a gent named Chris Moses, he will be performing "The Romans Experience" (Pauls letter to the Romans) on this dinner night. I am thrilled to be able to attend. I will share all about to you if you like.
Ok, well I best get busy. Oh, dekrator, I am scared to open your link...you say caution...I think I might pass. Good day.

I was thinking the same thing. I am agreeing in prayer with you Dekrator ! I had a pretty decent day today, praising Jesus. I feel like the more I thank Him the better I feel. I am trying to learn to concentrate on my blessings.
Belted this one out all the way to work this AM and He lifted me up.

I agree with you.."I feel like the more I thank Him the better I feel."

Have another great day tomorrow praising God!

MDW, thank you for sharing about your class today. I'm not able to take part in a Bible group right now so I really enjoy hearing about what you are learning and studying.
Hope you had fun at your fellowship dinner! I grew up in a very small church. We would have dinners after church on sunday nights. Most of the time they were in celebration of a baptism or special occasion, worked out to be at least once a month. We always looked forward to the food and the fellowship
fflutterby, I like that song too! After I listened to your's I noticed there was another Casting Crowns song that I had never heard before listed on the right. It's called "The Well":
Thank you for your prayers and praying with you too Dekrator and fflutterby
Hugs and good night to all my God thought friends!

Good morning God Thought family,
Thanks Sammy for your kind words and enjoying what I am learning. Sometimes I think I just chat too much and take up space. I really enjoy going to Bible study, because the family there treat me so wonderful and know that I am new to all this Bible read...they want to teach me....thats what is so great!
Wow, last night was a deep teaching of Pauls letter to the Romans. I cannot even begin to explain the experience so I have a link that talks about the Roman Experience....( I do hope you open the link)
Dinner and fellowship was absolutely wonderful. I was so scared to go, considering it was my first. Gosh, I am so glad I did not chicken out of attending. I would have missed out on something beautiful.
Sammy, I pray one day here real soon you will be able to attend Bible study again. I will share with you what I learn, if you like. I have to get in a routine again, I have been watching on-line church because ...wow, I have not been to Sunday church in months now. Not feeling well, too busy?? When Sunday rolls around...seems like I am pooped and aches and pains from doing too much in the week and can't seem to get my bum in first gear.
I look foreward to everyones share this day. I pray all my God Thought Family have a healing day with twinkle blessings.
Chat later

flutterby...I like the song you sing (belted out). I hear this song much during the day on the radio.
Sammy...Your link will not open to song??? But I do know the song "The Well" you speak of.
Ok, really for real, I need to get busy.

Thanks MDW, I fixed the link to the song. I think I had heard "The Well" before on the radio but I had never really listened closely to the words. Or they never really sank in before, know what I mean?
Funny how God does that. He's always with us, watching over us, moving behind the scenes, providing whatever we need at just the right time. I've observed this often lately. Not only in my life but in the lives of my friends and family too.
It makes me feel so overwhelmingly grateful to be a child of such a loving father God. I feel so humbled, undeserving and ever so grateful. Kinda makes my heart feel like it's going to burst right now as I try to tell you about it.
Hugs, have a great day friends!

Good morning friends!
Great song you posted sammy! Glad you were able to pop in and share!
MDW,
I haven't had a chance to click on the link yet to hear about the Roman experience, but I will. Thanks for sharing it!
friends,
I was watching Joyce Meyer this morning and I had to share this part of her broadcast...it was hilarious!
It is about our perspective and attitude.
If you click on the link and then scroll the broadcast ahead to 13:40 you can listen to the part where she reads the letter....soo funny and true!

Good Morning All My God Thought Friends,
I am thankful for each of you...and that you're all keeping God's thoughts going. Thank you for your prayers for me...I am doing really well and have energy again.
Energy, it's a good thing too because we celebrate Christmas this year on Thanksgiving--FIVE DAYS!!! YIKES!!! So that's my excuse why I've not been around here much lately. In fact, I'll probably not be around much until the Monday after Thanksgiving. (This year it's the in-laws turn to have them for Christmas...we all share. And the in-laws are wonderful godly people. Thank God!)
I'm so excited most of the family is already here and my Dad and Step-Mom arrive Monday. This is THE earliest we've ever bought gifts. I don't even have time to do all my decorating...but that's ok. I could get used to that LOL.
As I look at my husband, my sons, their Christians wifes, my five beautiful grandchildren I am overwhelmed with thanksgiving for our loving, faithful God.
It is my prayer that each of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with God's presence! What could be better than that?!!!
This is my prayer for you and your family...for me and my family, that the Lord would "Take Our Lives and Let It Be..."
Love and hugs!!!

I found this beautiful song I like to share with my God thought family...

Hi faithful friends,
Glad to hear folks reporting better days. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers.
Please pray for Danny and Michelle. Their son was found dead in his dorm room at the University of Arkansas this morning. He was only 19 years old.
Thanks to all of you.
Have the Happiest Thanksgiving everyone.

Hello friends!!
Praying everyone has a peaceful Thanksgiving day tomorrow!
We went to church today and sang the song in this video. Wish I could have found a video with better sound and showing the lyrics, but it's still pretty..it's called "Thanks and Praise"...

Good eve,
dekrator, the song was just fine, thanks for sharing. You also have a peaceful Thanksgiving. I will probably eat like a lil piggy tomorrow! then be ready for a nap. hugs to you dear friend, with prayers of many blessings being asked for you and your family on Thanksgiving and days ahead.
.... and may all my God Thought family have a blessed Thanksgiving. Here is a Meet Me In The Meadow share....
November 23, 2011
Thankfulness Give thanks in everything--1 Thessalonians 5:18
Give thanks for everything--Ephesians 5:20
Pray about everything with thanksgiving--Philippians 4:6
Do all things without murmuring--Philippians 2:14
Thankfulness is the presence of gratitude and the absence of murmuring. Thankfulness is an attitude of appreciation for everything that is received; murmuring is an attitude of complaint for everything that is withheld. Thankfulness is rooted in humility; murmuring is rooted in pride. Thankfulness says, ``This is more than I deserve.''; murmuring says, ``I deserve more!'' Thankfulness is the doorway to contentment; murmuring is the doorway to dissatisfaction. Thankfulness travels on the highway of joy; murmuring travels on the highway of gloom. Thankfulness causes the disposition to be sweet; murmuring causes the disposition to become sour.
Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before Him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are His. We are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving; go into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation. Psalm 100 NLT

Friends,
This scripture is on my mind today as I pray and trust God to answer:
Romans 8:28 New International Version (NIV)
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
How is everyone doing?
Hugs!!!

Good Morning All,
So good to be back on Lymenet with the "family" here. God Bless You!
linky, so sorry about the death of Danny and Michelle's son. Can't imagine the pain and grief they are going through. Oh, Lord God, help them. Be especially close to them and comfort them. May family and friends come along side of them to share their heavy burden of grief.
It has been good to catch up on this God Thought thread.
Sammy and all, sure hope your Thanksgivings were grand too.
fflutterby, I am happy for you...having some good days. Praying that happens more and more.
I too am still doing well. God is answering prayer and the protocol I'm on is doing it's "thing". During our two weeks of Thanksgiving/Christmas I had energy and felt good everyday. Yesterday I was tired and went to be early. Hello? Who wouldn't be?? It was non-stop fun with family, including five grandchildren!! Hah!!
FYI, I have been eating like a piggy too...going to need to stop that soon!
Today I'm back to my regular schedule...working...typing this on my break.
MDW, Great scriptures on giving thanks. Thank you for sharing those. The are WOW! And we do have so much to be thankful for.
Dekrator, Thanks for your encouragaing words and prayers for each of us!
"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever" (Psalm 107:1).
I'll look forward to starting the new thread soon...After the initial post, I'm excited to share some about Christmas. The Lord is INDEED very good!!!
