Laurie over at Women Taking a Stand is hosting At the Well today. Below are the discussion questions she has created. Join me today At The Well!
#1- How do you give thanks during difficult times?
Personally, I reflect on all God has done for me! This is sure to bring about a happy countenance and to bring praise to God. Quoting Scripture is also a great way to improve your outlook on your circumstances. 1Chronicles 16:34 “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” How can one be dismayed after reading that?! Our temporal lives might hold trials, but the price for our eternal life has already been paid!
#2 - Share with your readers a testimony of how God brought you thru a difficult time.
Well, right now we are in the midst of a trial. My husband, Mark, is a financial planner (stock broker) and, as you all know, the market is not doing so well right now. Since his income is based solely on commission, this has drastically reduced our income and we’ve been dipping into savings for a while now. Now, we could choose to panic, complain, worry and gripe, but instead our faith is growing. We are trusting solely on Jesus to get us through and we are grateful that we have savings that we can live off of for a while. Look at this passage of Scripture. It rings so true!
Mattthew 6:25-27 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”
God will bring us through!
#3 - What is the most memorable Thanksgiving you have experienced?
They are all so memorable! Our family traditions have grown so much over the years. We have kept time-honored family traditions and added a few of our own, as well. This is a sweet time of year and we always look forward to praising God for His faithfulness and provision!
Go forth and sing praises to God for all He has done for you!
