Thankful Thursday

I LOVE GOD'S WORD!!

I love how it comes alive the minute you open it.

I love how you can learn something new from a scripture you have read hundreds of times.

I love how it is timeless and relevant.

I love how it is simply the love of God from Genesis to Revelation!

But for today, I LOVE HOW IT SOUNDS WHEN READ BY MY CHILDREN!!

Lindsey read Deuteronomy 31:6 to us the other night during our devotional.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." (Deuteronomy 31:6)


Taylor read John 1:1-14 to me last night before bedtime.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1-14)


It is a sweet sound, indeed, and I pray that they fall head over heels in love with God through the pages of His Word!

What are YOU thankful for today?

Blessings,
Dori
