Ep. 6 A Powerful Woman is a Grateful Woman

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6,7

Do we have to wait for a disaster before we become a thankful person?

I want to be that kind of person who is secretly delighted because I know something that others may not: Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.

Reminds me of a plaque I had on my wall in college: "Do we have to wait for a desert before we enjoy water?"

 

Let’s set our minds on thanking God in all things, and set our lips on a low-simmer – except, of course, we  are telling everyone what a great God we have. 

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving – Let’s be delighted and be a delight – both make us powerful women, all for heaven’s sake.
