Thanksgiving on Thursday...

I'm thinking today about James 3:17, and how that only

 can happen when we are humble. It is much easier to get along 

with people if we do not have a proud spirit,

 but are approachable and easy to be intreated.

"But the wisdom that is from above

is first pure, then peaceable,

gentle and easy to be intreated,

full of mercy and good fruits,

without partiality and without hypocrisy."

Seems to me that when our minds are being renewed daily,

and our hearts are being changed by the One who

died to save us from our sins,

then this is the kind of fruit that will come

pouring out of our lives.

I am definitely a work in progress,

and I don't want to stall or stop

in my journey with Him...

being changed from glory to glory.

I am thankful today to the many who,

at various times, have spoken into my life.

I have had steady and faithful mentors,

parents, a husband and Christian friends

whom God has used to speak into my life

those things I needed to hear.

I am grateful. 

Even tho I regret not always being humble

and easy to be intreated.

Thank God for mercy

and for working His work of grace

even til this day!
