Grateful Heart!

This morning I wake up with a grateful heart! What I am grateful for......

*Living in a country where we are free to worship our God! I have been so sad over the Christians being persecuted over seas! I can't imagine what they are going through but what an excellent testimony they are giving......the love they have for Jesus!

*yesterday I got to see my best friend's husband get baptized!! It was awesome. I had actually forgot it was going to happen on this particular Sunday. She had told me but my brain these days does not function on 100%. I happen to get to church and she sent me a text about it! I was so excited that I was there and got to see it! What an awesome blessing!

*Health- right now we are all healthy!!

*Family- we are beyond blessed with awesome family on both sides! I was happy to spend time with mom and dad this weekend. Mom and I love to sit on the computer and find goofy videos on youtube. We will laugh so hard we are snorting and slapping our legs! I love these special moments!

*my cup of coffee this morning! I love getting to wake up and go straight to God with my cup of yummy coffee! best time of the day!

*getting the chance to see Beth Moore! I am getting to see her in Memphis on Friday and I can hardly wait!

What are you grateful for today? Link up with Ember Grey and let us know!
Hope everyone has a blessed day!
Lots of love..

  2. How awesome is it that you got to rejoice with your friend when her husband was baptized. I love that. Having a cup of coffee with Jesus in the morning is my most favorite thing. I think having your coffee with Jesus makes it taste that much better. hehe. :)

  3. oh goodness, baptisms always make me cry! our church does an annual outdoor spontaneous baptism service each summer (it was a few weeks ago), where we put up a big pool underneath our carport and people can decide on the spot to get baptized...we had over 80 people get in the tank this year, and listening to their testimonies always brings a tear to my eye!

    also, your first thing made my Grateful Heart Monday list too :)

    1. Betsy, I absolutely love this idea of a spontaneous baptism! I think this would be such a cool thing to experience. There is a church around here that will go to the river and do this! so neat!

  5. Isn't what is happening overseas heartbreaking?! Those poor people... You are so right about being grateful for our freedom to love our Lord and worship as we need.
