Thankful Thursday
"O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting."
I Chronicles 16:34
I am thankful that the Lord who created the heavens and the earth loves each one of us with a love that never fails or changes. He sees us; He hears us; He calls each one of us by name.
I am thankful for the love of family. For parents whose unconditional love sustains; for children whose lavish love blesses; for grandchildren whose love comes like a precious gift.
I am thankful for the love of friends. It is a love that accepts and encourages and supports.
I am thankful that love is not dependant on the feelings of a particular moment. Sometimes we must choose to love. Sometimes others must choose to love us in spite of our "unloveliness". It is that love which draws us and causes us to love in return. It is the love that Jesus models.
I am thankful that love is not limited or stagnant. The more we love, the more love grows. The more we choose to love in moments when it doesn't seem possible, the deeper love grows.
I am thankful that while we were yet sinners Christ loved us enough to die for us. He didn't wait until we were worthy to be loved. He loved us right where we were. I am so very thankful for love.

Beautiful and encouraging words Linda!
Thank you so much...this post really blessed me and brought tears to my eyes. (((HUGS)))
Love is a wonderful thing. Love is not depended on feelings, but it so much more...I so agree with you.
I like what you have said that "that love is not dependent on the feelings of a particular moment" -- I know that I am sometimes not very lovable :)
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart this week.
Be blessed this weekend as you spending time with your beloved family...
