Topic: Thanksgiving (04/18/05)
He loves you so be there with Him. Let Him shine through your heart. Let's go to:

Psalms 22:22 "I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee."

declare (Strong's 5608) to score (record with a mark);
name (Strong's 8034) appellation, mark or memorial of individuality, honor, authority or character;
brethren (Strong's 251) a brother, kindred or like;
midst (Strong's 8432) center, middle or midst;
congregation (Strong's 6951) assemblage, congregation or multitude; (from Strong's 6950) to convoke (to summon people to assemble);
praise (Strong's 1984) to be clear, shine, boast, rave, celebrate, glorify, give in marriage or praise.

Always give dear God the recognition that is due Him. Mark His Name and mention Him and His Word whenever you can to those dear ones that you care about. He is Who you are living and being here for. Do things that He would be proud of you to do and always keeping a good character, but yet having the authority that you do hold in being there for Him. Let Him be the Center of who you are and share that love with those around you and lift others to Him. Even if things seem challenging, know that He can do anything through you if you are for Him. Keep yourself clear and shine and celebrate your love for Him by beginning and ending each day with Him. The best thing to do, though, is keep that constant connection with Him talking to Him and remembering Him.

Stay in the Word so that you have that Ground and Basis in which to live your life. You can then relate to those that have gone through challenges and successfully completed them because of dear God. He is Who He Is - for HE IS Almighty God. He will pull you through something that may seem like you could never get through because of your trust in Him. Rest in Him and take the example of those that loved Him and were there for Him did for His Sake.

Talk with Him and thank Him for those dear family members and friends that He put into your life to help and to be there for you. Enjoy the time that you have with them and let them know that you love them so much. You never know how long you will have the gift of those precious people, so enjoy each other.

Finally, He loves you so be there for Him. He is so proud of you and enjoys it when you spend that quality time with Him. He sees that you continually are moving forward and are getting stronger in Him, so know that you will have challenges ahead because He can use you in His Plan. Now that is an honor and a blessing so rest in Him. He is that Rock you stand on and He loves you. Smile and be happy… He loves you.

Thanks dear God for Your Love and Your Strength,

Sometimes that's the hard part, not taking for granted the Grace God gives us. There was a great sense of joy coming from the writer here.

Good advice, passionately and sincerely given. Just watch out for those run on sentences that can get a bit clumsy. ie 'He will pull you through something that may seem like you could never get through because of your trust in Him' this is a great truth, broken down into several setenses it will pack a mightier punch.
