Project 365: November 2015

Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Give Thanks With a Grateful Heart

I love this song:

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"
Give thanks

We give thanks to You oh Lord
We give thanks

It is such a soothing, worshipful song! I tried to find a decent youtube video or mp3 file to put here, but couldn't.

Anyway, I've been doing some art journaling lately with the Illustrated Faith group, Gratitude Documented. They supplied a journaling prompt with a scripture verse for each day during November. Here are the pages I have done so far. What have I learned in this project? That I'm not thankful enough!

Some of you I will see over the Thanksgiving holiday, and some of you I will not, but I pray each and everyone of you have a blessed day with family and friends!
