Life of Eucharisteo

I've missed a few days, but here I go...time to catch up. Thankful... 229. to be able to "meet" other bloggers. 230. for feedback. 231. for community 232. that she received the journal...in the mail, and in her heart. 233. that she's healing and growing in HIM. 234. for sweet text that say I was missed. 235. for friends that care. 236. that even though no one else understands our life, we do , and it's working for us, and we'll continue to make this way work until God shows us otherwise. 237. that God still speaks to me through His Word. 238. that I can learn from the wandering Isrealites' mistakes. 239. that God taught me to be patient, whether it's 2 days, 2 months, or 2 years. I will still praise Him. 240. that next week is Thanksgiving break! Woo Hoo! We get to sleep in for a whole week!!!! Tracey <><

Thanking Him... 221. for waking me up on time this morning....I forgot to turn on my alarm last night. 222. for Vick's Vapo Rub. 223. for being able to breath out of my nose again. 224. that tomorrow is our Friday! 225. for giving me this opportunity to use this blog for His Glory. 226. for fresh greens and the neighbor that offers them. 227. for Kaylee, who cleaned up and put away last night before bed so that I wouldn't have to do it. It means so much when they do these little things without being asked. She couldn't have shown her love for me in any better way. Priceless. Tracey <><

Today I am dedicating this entire post to my dear, sweet, hardworking husband. Today I thank God for this man. This man that stepped into my path almost 14 years ago and walked it with me. The man that continued to walk beside me as God (little did we know) was directing the path. The path that led us both to Him. 212. for his love. 213. for his support. 214. for his faithfulness 215. for his laughter. 216. for his love for our girls. 217. for his willingness to provide for our family. 218. for his love for the Lord. 219. for his talents. 220. for his assurance. Now he called his name Noah, saying, "This one will give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the LORD has cursed." Genesis 5:29 Thankful, more than words can say, Tracey <><

 I feel like I've been hit by a truck today . Thankful... 201. that I have not actually been hit by a truck. :) 202. that I can get out of bed on my own. 203. that I was able to remove the peanuts from her nostrils (one in each nostril) and that I didn't have to make a trip to the ER. 204. that there was only ONE peanut in each nostril. 205. that Friday is a school holiday. 206. that my car is getting me to and from the places I need to go. 207. that KP #2 was okay about not going on the field trip. I'm so proud of that kid. 208. that I only have two baskets of clothes to put away today. 209. for the good turn out at the shower, and that she got lots of things she needed. 210. that at least my ears aren't stopped up. Tracey <><

Day 2 John 11:41-42 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that You have heard Me . 4 2 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 　 Jesus said “I know you always hear Me.” Wow….do we have this same confidence? Confidence that Our Heavenly Father always hears us? Jesus’ example in this passage says that we should. His example also tells us that we should be giving Thanks to God in everything (yes the bad time too) and we should be doing it publicly. What a thought…people could actually be led to believe in Jesus because of our obedience in Thanksgiving to God. I Thank my God today.... 184. The girls had winter clothes from last year that still fit this year. 185. I finally got the winter clothes pulled out of storage and organized in the closet. 186. Almond bark (my waistline...

Romans1:8 - "First I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world." My MacArthur commentary tells me that in almost every letter Paul wrote, he expressed his gratitude. If thankfulness was that important to Paul, then I think I should take note and learn from his words of gratitude. I take particular note that Paul thanked God "first". A few months ago I read Ann Voskamp's book One Thousand Gifts . It was life changing for me. The portrait she paints of thanks is astounding. Since finishing the book I've started my own journal of thanks. I'll be sharing some of those lists of thanks with you throughout the month of November as I participate in the 30 Days to Being Thankful Challenge . I thank my God for... 181. a quiet house after everyone has gone to bed. 182. the chance to hear about the Godly influence my girls are being to their friends and teachers at school. Thankful more than ...
