Today’s, Thankful Thursday  is quite simple!

Soften up this old heart of mine, Lord and allow me to be grateful and thankful.

Dear sister, if you have found yourself with a bit of a harden heart, I pray you will ask God to soften you up!   I pray you too can give thanks in all things! Just as the word of God says to do.

Winters often teases me that my posts are very long and rarely simple.   My reply is always the same.  I have much to say and I do love adjectives!  Winters web site and blog at Justflipthedog.com says on the banner “Speak only to improve the silence”. That is his motto, not mine and clearly, we are polar opposites in this area of our life, and our friends will attest to that.

My motto is, I suggest you speak as much as you need to in order to say what God wants you to say! And so I believe you need to say what you need to say!

And yes, we are crazy about each other but this does kind of drive Winters a bit batty and maybe a few of my others friends too.

But today’s Thankful Thursday is very simple. despite the electricity went out, I am feeling a bit under the weather and Winters can’t edit this post, oh well, we couldn’t let that stop thankful Thursday, Right?

Let’s work hard, I mean really hard at being grateful and being Thankful for all that we have.

And on this Thankful Thursday let’s lift up in prayer all those who have suffered much and then thank God for His sufficiency of Grace for us.

Thank God we can have a heart of compassion and not on one of Stone!

And if your heart is a bit hardened by this old world, may I suggest that you ask God to help you out.

Be blessed and encouraged today as you read these lyrics and especially if you need a little softening up in order to find your heart of  thanksgiving, compassion and gratitude.  You can count on God.  He will soften up your old heart, dear friend, if you will just let Him!

My eyes are dry

My faith is old

My heart is hard
My prayers are cold
And I know how I ought to be
Alive to You and dead to me

But what can be done
For an old heart like mine
Soften it up
With oil and wine
The oil is You, Your Spirit of love
Please wash me anew
With the wine of Your Blood

Praise God for a renewed heart in Christ!
