The struggle is real Happy Thanksgiving!!

 
 
I found this cup at Walmart last year and thought wow, this is so truthful.  The struggle is real for so many of us!!  I hope you find this encouraging for today and always.  God is good all the time and all the time, God is good!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!  I am so grateful for all of you and the roles you all play in my life.  My daughter is my true blessing from God, and without Kirk who God sent to me as a miracle, I wouldn't have our Emily.

I am grateful for each and every one of you.  There are way too many of you to name but each of you know who you are!!!  I have so many friends and family that stood next to us during our most darkest of times, and then I have so many new friends that have been a true blessing and seen me thrive and fly out of the darkness.  I have so many widow sisters that I continually pray for every day, along with their families.  Each and every one of you are so special to my heart.

My Lord and Savior is my biggest blessing!!  He rescued me when I was down in a pit that no one that hasn't been on this path can fathom.  He held out His hand and pulled me up!!!  I am so thankful for His precious blood to cleanse me of this world!!  He taught me to put my eyes upward and to praise and trust Him in all circumstances, good or bad.  So for me, I will continue to praise His Holy Name and trust Him with everything in my life.  I was doing a terrible job by myself, but He has blessed me beyond measure.

I know it's hard for some to think about being thankful when you have endured so much pain and heartache.  I get it, I was there with you not too long ago.  But I am here to tell you that if you surrender and give your throne to the rightful owner, you will feel so much peace.  You will be able to find joy and happiness once again.  It is a reality with Jesus! 

Here are a few scriptures that you can read and meditate on as we go through this Thanksgiving weekend.  I know it's a hard weekend so many of us, but together and with Jesus we will get through and enjoy the time with family and friends. 

Psalm 69:30  "I will praise God's name in song and glorify Him with thanksgiving."

Philippians 4:6 NIV "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God."

Lamentations 3:65-67 "I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit.  You heard my plea: "Do not close your ears to my cry for relief." You came near when I called You, and You said, "Do not fear."

I pray that you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving and will celebrate with family and friends.  I pray for a safe and protected travels for each of you and I pray for peace, joy, comfort, and healing.  I love each and every one of you!!!
