Day 2: The Healing Source

I am Thankful for...

a God that heals immediately!

My son gets out of his bath last night and is complaining that his abdomen hurts.  Feel the area and it's hard as a rock! My husband's first instinct - freak out! My first reaction, I grabbed my son's hands and asked him do you believe Jesus can heal you? He said yes.  I prayed for him that God would relieve the pain, cause the swelling to go down, and if there was a foreign entity to make it dissolve.

By the time I got his pajamas on, gave good night kisses to daddy, tucked him bed -- the pain was gone and the hard spot was soft again.  My son turned to me, smiled, and said "the pain is gone, Jesus healed me!"  I smiled back at him and said "Praise the Lord!"

Thank You, God, for being the Master Physician in my family's life!!!

Day 1 - I am thankful for...

I am thankful for...

• a measure of faith provided by God, that is growing on a daily basis

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith. ~Romans 12:3

God has given me a measure of faith! This isn't something that I did on my own, no, it was something God gave me since birth.  I have a measure of faith! And I am thankful that my parents helped to grow this faith within me, so that when I left home, I knew how to stand on my own two feet with the Sword in one hand and the Shield in the other.  They taught me how to wield away the fiery darts of the devil and how to listen to the voice of wisdom.  

I definitely have not arrived and there are times I wish my faith was stronger -- but I am so thankful it is growing each and every day, so I can face the trials and storms that are yet to come.
