Matthew: 15:32

Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

 Just as he fed the multitude then, He continues to do so today in many many miraculous ways. Thank the Lord that He still has that same kind of compassion as He when He fed that multitude that day. When we go to Him, He never sends us away hungry. Thank you Lord for the food that only You can feed my hungry soul.

Compassion: the dictionary describes it as : sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it

• I thank God, as Iris said, for teaching me to be compassionate towards others. To not only feel the feeling but allowing that feeling to move me into helping when and where I can. Do I always move when I feel the compassion? Maybe not in the physical for there are those times when I can not  but no matter what I can always pray. Praying is an action, it is moving in the spiritual realm what can not be moved in the physical. How many of us know that "Prayer changes things"?
• I thank God that my daughters teeth are fixed and look great. The dentist did a great job I am sure His hands were guided by the Lord .
• I thank God that my littlest one is finished with all his antibiotics and up and running as usual. Energized like that little pink bunny , he just keeps going and going and... His breathing is great we are down to only 2 breathing treatments per day. Thank You Jesus.
• I thank God that my little class here is doing great. I am learning new things with them each and every day and my children are learning to share what they do have with others.
• I thank God that my new highschooler "D" is doing great with the SOS curriculum. He is unsattisfied with anything below a "B" so is working hard to make the grade! He is also learning the Word of God each and every day through this curriculum. I think that's just awesome. There's been such a change in him just since the start of January. He has been to church with us more than ever before and I believe that God is really working on his heart.
• I thank God for D's nana. She makes the best chicken salad I have ever tasted. Oh and cheesecake and peanut butter balls  too.  Not only that but she has given us the oppurtunity to make a difference in D's life trusting us with her grandson. I still love her chicken salad though. I tell ya that stuff is top notch!
• I thank God that He is teaching my husband and I together that we need to flow, walk in , and not fear the calling He has placed in our lives. He will make a way where there seems to be no way.  He is the One that works in us, not us. It is Him doing the work. We are but a vessel He is using at the moment that He chooses to. So I guess what I mean is we are learning to "relax and enjoy the ride". He's the driver and I am looking forward to the journey He has in mind for this family.

To read more of the Thankful Thursday's click on the graphic above and once you are there click away on the names listed. I encourage you to join and start participating if you have not already. This is a way to let the world know just how good God has been to YOU!  You know, the Word says in Revelations that we are made overcomers by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. This is a great way to get the word out, to testify of God's goodness in your life. Start being an ovecomer today, the blood has already been shed so now it's time for the word of your ( our) testimony to get out there. He has done His part, let's do ours.

Be blessed,
