Our "Grateful" List

[izzyfalcon]

Today,...I marvel, at my very own,..."Gratefulness".

Thank You,...Lord, (Jesus); for all recipients, who have, (not having, to),...lend willingly, themselves, to accepting my approach, (regarding, You, Lord); and, have also, freely accepted, these Spiritual passages: which I devote,...for, Your Glory!....

As You, well know Lord; I do, what I can, within my limitations; as well as, within all of my, capabilities. Reaching-out, to a wicked and washed-out World; yet, You have placed, those, (the needy),...in my path: and hence, I have been well-received,...thanks, to You, (Jesus),...till, this day!...

I'm Grateful, for the store clerk, at the customer service center, (at, our Publix Super-Market); who accepted, my written literature, (of, You, Lord). For the first time, I am expanding, my one on one,...distribution list; face to face, hand to hand,...passing of these various dedicated writings. Only, to whom You,...lead me to; so as to (Not): cast my Pearls,...before,…swines!....

I'm Grateful, for the Gift, I have received from You, (Lord, Jesus); in having the ability, from a first glance, to determine, whether or not, a given person; will lend themselves, to be approachable!.... Or whether, I should just simply,...move-on. A discerning Spirit, only You,...have cultivated, in me.

I'm Grateful, for the Pharmacist, (at, my nearby CVS-Pharmacy Store); who, although of Hindu, descent: has, so graciously accepted, my literature. And, as we parted, he Blessed me, with his words; "God Bless You!".... We, hadn't seen each other, in a while; he's being moved about, from store to store: yet, today, as Mother and I, entered the Pharmacy,...although, he was attending another customer; he, stopped, to recognize, (who, the Spirit, led him to), both of us: giving his warm smile, and exchanging pleasantries,...with who he knows, (are also, Children-of-God)!....

I’m also,…”Grateful”,…for the front-counter clerk, within the same Pharmacy mentioned; who has also, been added, to my list of,…”Recipients!”…. Jeremy, his name. Funny, how I’m so close to our previous Pharmacist mentioned,…yet, I have failed, to realize his personal name; Lord willing, in my next visit, I will make it a point; to know it!....

Also, an assistant Manager, (whose name, I will acquire); included within this same, Pharmacy,…has graciously accepted, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in form of my personal hand-delivery. Not to mention,…the Top-Dog, in this Pharmacy; the General Manager, has also,…”most-willingly”,…accepted, my writing, (of You, Lord). Each one, of these individuals, have been approached by me; at different days, and time spans,…accordingly: all, within Your Will....

For my,…”Pest-Control”,…man; I’m also, very,…”Grateful”. Who visits our Apartment Complex, once; every three, (3),…months. Two days ago, I also gave him,…his second batch; of these Spiritual writings. Also, he Blessed me; in his, closing salutation; prior to parting, away from,…our resident unit.

I’m Grateful,…for all the Managing Staff, in my Apartment Complex; of whom, one by one, at different times; as my Lord,…leads: I have been, able to share,…these writings. From Leasing Agents,…up to the Property Manager. Not forgetting, all of our maintenance-crew. They all, individually, know my Love,…for them!....

Thank You, Lord, (Jesus); for allowing me, to serve You; with due,…diligence!.... Truly, I am Blessed,…by their very mouths; and, most importantly,…by You!....


Your Friend,

Izzy!...

I am grateful today for so many things God has blessed my life with. Our grass is cut and the mower is serviced by my precious Jeff, the dogs are happy, my heart is content, and there is food in the cabinets. I have companionship, friendship, and love in my life. I have the gift of prayer, and so many things God has rained down on my life. I am grateful, Lord.

Added to my reasons, for being,..."Grateful",...today; is the Holy Spirit's Work: in, us!....

Thank You,...Lord; for permiting me, to share: Your written Word, to Your Children. Today, I was Blessed, with having an additional recipient, willingly accepting, my passing-on to them,...these messages, of devotion; to our Lord and Saviour,..."Jesus Christ!"....

As I stopped-in, my neightborhood,.."Big-Lot Store",...prior, to making my presence, here at the Library,...today; I shared, some of my written passages; with a new employee. All-in-all, that makes, a total of six, (6), Souls; serviced!.... Previously,...I have addressed, the Store Manager, the Furniture Dept. Manager, and three other sales-clerks: today, I've reached,...a sixth person,...in Hopes, that the Holy Spirit, leads this heart,...to Jesus!....

I'm most,..."Grateful",...for having, fellowshiped for a few minutes; with two of the Maintenance Men: at my apartment complex. Who, as I stepped-out, (walking),..to the Bus-Stop; toward this destination, (the Library); I encountered, their presence: and, we three, (3),...vented, our immediate concerns. I ending, with assuring them, to keep the Faith; and to not despair; by sharing a personal testimony, of my days gone-by: admitting to them, that we all, sometimes feel,...bitterness; and that, we fall victims, to certain circumstances; but, regardless,...I ended, by comforting them, with knowing that,...things, could be worse!....

Let us all,...Praise this Day; and be,..."Grateful",...that, we are Alive!.... What, will you do, with this Day?.... Will you, encourage others; to continue the course, to fight the good-fight?...

I pray,...so!....

Your Friend,

Here I am,...Blessed, another Day; to perform, to service, and to put all others,..."First!"....

In Jesus' Name,...("GOD-BLESS YOU,...ALL").

Looking at the calendar and realizing just how fast this past year has flown by when on this day in 2011, hubby Roger and I said I do and we did. I am ever so grateful for our Father God uniting us in Spirit, mind and body! He has more than blessed us abundantly with love and gifts of creativity! Thank you, Father God......KayD

[Pokey's Heart]

grateful to have quiet time to come here this morning. (Happy belated anniversary, Kay and Roger!) Grateful for the beauty of this morning's sunrise, grateful for the smells and sounds of the world as it wakes up to another day our Lord has blessed me with. grateful for friends, family and pets, grateful for all of God's blessings, too numerous to count.

I am so grateful for the sacrifice of my Lord Jesus. Not only did He allow us to be saved from death and hell, but because He rent the veil in the Holy of Holies, we have direct access into the presence of our Father God. And, we are to enter BOLDLY into His presence. We are so blessed to have the wonderful power of prayer and the freedom to discuss with our Father any and everything that is on our minds. It brings us into fellowship with Him and the more we pray, the closer we get to Him.

Being a part of the Joy in the Morning Ministries has taught me so much about prayer. The miracles are innumerable and it grows daily. I am so thankful for my Savior and His love. Oh my God, thank You for all You do for all of us daily. Thank You for loving each of us. Thank you for this wonderful NetHugs website where Your love abides in abundance and for a dear man named Skip who opens it up for us to share our love for You, Father and for each other everyday. Thank You for old friends that we met here and have come to love and for the new ones who grow more dear everyday. Make me into the person You want me to be. I love You and ask Your forgiveness. In Jesus name, Amen.


Here is a beautiful song called "THANK YOU, LORD" By Don Moen. PRAISE GOD FOR HIS LOVE FOR YOU AND ME.

Today,...dear friends; I am most,..."Grateful",...for our Host: in, (NETHUGS.COM). Without his involvement, we wouldn't have, this marvelous opportunity; to make our presence, known and noted: at, a World-Wide,...scale!....

So, Kudos,...to our Generous,..."Web-Master!"....

Also, for, making it possible; the gathering of Jesus' own: through, this Magnificent-Medium!...

I'm Grateful, for the bus-driver; who, received my person: while, on my way, to this Library,...today; as, I am striving always, to share God's Word; tactfully, to a hurtful globe. Often, I leave a copy of my daily writings, (my hand-written, drafts); on the bus-seats: in high-hopes, of ushering-in, another Lost Soul,...into our Lord's Sheep-Fold!...(besides, placing into the hands of the Bus-Driver; a finalized, copy). All, as the Spirit, leads me; through God's Grace: in, Jesus' Name!...

Grateful, for Ms. Pokey; and, her ingenious idea: of, expressing our thankfulness,...daily. Demonstrating to the World; that, those who are of God; have many things, in which to be,..."Grateful",...for.

I'm Grateful, for the Spiritual Understandings, of my Brother Jeff-Guest; who, leads us,...with his, endless; consoling cares!....

Thank you Lord, (Jesus); for, allowing us, (the Faithful): to make, Your Presence Known,...here, at this Site!...

Your Friend,

Izzy!...

I'm grateful today for family and friends, I am grateful for the beautiful sunshine, grateful for Jeff in my life, for our animals, and for the beauty of the yard Jeff so lovingly cares for. Thank you Lord for all of your beautiful blessings and help me to be a good steward of the things you have placed in my life. I'm grateful for the patience with others that you alone impart, sweet Jesus.

Today,...as I walked-into this Public Library; to write: I encountered, a young man, cleaning the rest-rooms. I commended him, on a job, well done; as the room, was immaculately clean, and fresh smelling. He smiled, and I took that moment, to impart what has been so Good,...to me; telling him, that I truly Hoped, it would be,...just as Good, for him: if, not more!....

With, that,...I closed, by saying: "Many people present here, (at, the computer stations), come to solve and address issues; regarding themselves, and their personal lives: but, that I,...specifically came, to this Library today, with the intent, to do,...for others, First!"....

And, that,...in the name, of servicing others, I frequently visit, this facility. The young man, cracked a bigger smile; as he, answered; "Yes-Sir!",...grinning, from ear to ear. I passed-on, some of my written devotions; and, invited him, to become Pen-Pals,..with me: pointing, to my E-mail Address!...

He, thanked me; as I thank,..."Almighty-God",...today!...

I am,..."Grateful",...for the opportunity, each and every day; to usher-in, yet another potential, person,...into, our Lord's Flock!.... Many, would wonder, how we can assume,...such, a Huge Task?... And, take-on, this responsibility,...of, Stewardship?...

To these, I answer,...today. We do so, in the same manner, as we tackle, the Journey of a 1,000 miles; with, one foot, in front of the other; taking, one step, at a time. Where's a good place, to start,...they, may ask?.... The beginning, is always,...a Good-Place!... I would, answer.

The same, is True, (dear readers, and friends); we approach, one Soul,...at a time: our, task at hand, is to become,..."Sowers",...of, (God's-Love-Seeds)!... Then, allow, the ministering of, "Living-Water", and,..."Light"; to come from our Creator: Almighty God. We, don't have to necessarily,...always, know, the out-come; of our, first efforts. At times,...it's at the end; that, we come to recognize, whether or not: these persons, have sprouted and flourished!...

Meanwhile,...I urge you, to read the parable, of the,..."Sower"; so, that you may realize, not all efforts, will reap benefits: then, again,...not all efforts, are in vain,...and, certainly, never for,...Naught!....

Your Friend,
Izzy!...

I'm grateful today for such a beautiful sunrise, for the fresh air, the birds singing, and for the gift of the Holy Spirit, thank you, Lord for your Holy Trinity, that you have exemplified to me in all ways. Thank you Lord for the understanding in my heart of these things, and grateful for the courage and strength to stand steadfast on those beliefs, and ever so grateful for the discernment you so freely gift our hearts with.
