I Wonder Who I Would Have Been At The Last Supper?
As I wrote yesterday’s Thankful Thursday, the thought kept coming to me over and over – ” If I was sitting at the table during the Last Supper, who would I have been.” Would I have been Peter or John or James or maybe even Judas? Or any of the others present. There have been times I am sure I have been like all of the disciples at one point or another. I have done a lot in my life that I am not that proud of, but I have never blatantly denied Christ like Peter did, but considering what he faced, who knows? I simply...
read moreRemembering Thankful Thursday On This Maundy Thursday ~
It is rather easy to write a Thankful Thursday today because we have a lot to be thankful for as believers. How blessed we are as Christians to know our hope is in Christ as we prepare for Easter Sunday! Today is known to many as Maundy Thursday, it was the day that Jesus had the Last Supper with the disciples before his crucifixion on Friday. One of my fondest memories has always been attending the re-enactment of the Last Supper and even a foot washing service with my parents. It was always an awesome experience. We refer to Friday as...
read moreThankful Thursdays~Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart!
On This Thankful Thursday I am reminded of the week ahead. It will be Spring Break in Newnan and the Sons of Thunder will be thundering through the house, yard, neighborhood and everywhere else in between. Mothers all over Coweta County are gearing up for a busy week. But I point my heart and mind to the good blessing we have. I am so grateful the Sons can run! I am grateful I have ears to hear their loud yells and tender words like “I love you” and I am grateful I have eye sight to see all their beautiful faces and the list goes...
read moreThankful Thursdays ~ Remember You Are A Light
On this Thankful Thursday I am reminded as I read the newspaper that we live in difficult times. It does not take long to see that many innocent people are impacted by the Godless and evil acts of others. For some today, it maybe difficult to find anything to be thankful for, especially if your life has been impacted by the evil or cruel acts of others. However, on this Thankful Thursday, I think that we can be thankful that God gave us the power to impact a world for Him. God’s love, grace and forgiveness is a ever present power. Most...
read moreEncore ~ Thankful Thursday ~ Inner Peace, Really?
Inner Peace … Inner Peace … Inner Peace … In your mind’s eye, imagine sitting in a relaxing meditative state with stillness all around you and the words “inner peace” are calmly being repeated over and over in your mind. You feel serene, with a euphoric type of transcendence and most of all, an inner peace! Hello? Who are we kidding here! Inner peace in the midst of screaming children, barking dogs, piles of laundry and toys strewn everywhere. If you are a mother you are probably in the midst of...
read moreLiving In The Fast Lane~An Encore’ Post
Too fast? Fast cars, fast food and the fast lane? Or is it rather, to fast or not? I say make fasting a way of life! There is no doubt you will grow closer to God with fasting. If you have not heard from Him lately, fasting and praying can certainly heighten your sensitivity to hearing God speak to your life and circumstance. Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline that sharpens and hones us as followers of Christ. I was so blessed to have a Godly mother, a prayer warrior who fasted regularly. She fasted, not to lose weight, but to seek...

To all my sweet sisters in Christ, my Thankful Thursday Gals and anyone who visits corbywinters.com: As all of you know I have had a full 5 years dealing with my parents and John’s adventure into the full time writing arena. On top of that, I have been trying to finish a book and build a speaking ministry – as well as care for the three SONS, not to mention one is in the throes of the teenage years and one soon to follow. Winters and I barely have time for a spin around the kitchen anymore. Add in the fact that mom and dad passed...
read moreThankful Thursday~ No, We just Can’t Skip Thanksgiving!
I have a confession to make. I have to be really, really honest on this Thankful Thursday Thanksgiving day. Here goes, there have been moments I have thought to myself, “Can’t we just skip Thanksgiving? Really, let’s just get on with Christmas! I love Christmas! I mean LOVE Christmas! I love the decorating, the gift giving, the gift getting, the wrapping of presents, decking the halls and just about every morsel of the holiday season. But most of all I love the celebration of Christ’s birth. That makes Christmas...

What if on this Thankful Thursday … You lose your keys … You lose your dog … You can’t find your purse and you’re late to a meeting … You get home with all the hamburgers and no fries … Or you’re at the checkout at some grocery store and realize you forgot the eggs in the deepest darkest part of the store. So you have to haul all the way back to get them. Worse yet, you fill your cart and get ready to check out and you realized you left your wallet at home. The inconveniences of life. The...
read moreThankful Thursdays ~ A Year Later
On this Thankful Thursday, I can’t help but think about what I was doing a year ago today. We do not often remember with such clarity that kind of thing unless it is a life-changing event and will have great significance in our lives. My November 10th, 2010 was to be a day spent with two dear friends celebrating my belated birthday in a quaint little town in Georgia. Although the day was to be filled with fun and laughter it was bitter-sweet. Moments before we were heading out the door, a call came from my brother breaking the news...
