Thankful:
“A prayerful attitude can get rid of a pitiful disposition.”
“Life doesn’t give us any blank pages. It’s always filled with something.”
“On Forgiveness: Thanking God for the undo button, the return and delete tab.”
“God’s Word is not highly opinionated, but highly factual.”
“I can stand, as long as I hold on to God’s hand.”
“And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment” (Revelation 21:6 ESV). Are you thirsty? Wouldn’t you agree that most of us get thirsty at least one time during the course of a day? Some wake up thirsty. Some may get thirsty during lunchtime or dinnertime. Others, throughout the day; perhaps during the night. No matter when we get thirsty, water is a welcome and refreshing drink.
Yesterday morning, I left home and forgot to bring a bottle of water with me. By midday, I had become so thirsty. My mouth was parched. I could barely wait to get to a vending machine and buy a bottle of water to quench my physical thirst. As I was placing the money in the machine, I couldn’t help but think about how much I desired and needed that physical water. After my thirst was satisfied, I thought, how much more do I need God’s spiritual water that’s available to me round the clock!
Do you know Jesus has spiritual water that wont cost us a thing? It’s free. All we have to be is thirsty for it. Are you thirsty for His spiritual water? Have you drank from His fountain today? If not, remember He said, “to the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.” He also said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”
I will keep on thanking God for the availability of His Spiritual water. By Hertistine Washington/keeponthanking.com

Lord, we thank you for waking us this morning, and clothing us in our right mind. We thank you for giving us the ability to move our limbs as strength increased. Thank you for waking our ears to hear and eyes to see. Thank you for maintaining the constant beat of our hearts, and the flow of our breaths.
We realize you are the reason we woke up this morning. You are the reason we opened our eyes. You are the reason our hearts kept beating, and You are the reason we’re still alive.
Thank you for waking us to see another beautiful God designed day. Thank you for assigning something for us to do, learn, share, help, touch, give, and love. Thank you for giving us opportunities to tell others about Jesus, the truth , the life, and the way.
“The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.” Isaiah 50:4 KJV
I will keep on thanking Him that, everyday my God wakes me both physically and spiritually. God, our Awakener, we say “thank you.” By Hertistine Washington/keeponthanking.com
“Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar’s household” (Philippians 4: 21-22 ESV). Good morning. I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We thank God for greeting us with His love to see 2018.
Everyday as flowers open to greet and welcome the butterflies to it’s nectar, so does our God (much more) greets us with His nectar of love, mercy and grace, never turning away any.
His greetings are never partial and does not change. Neither should ours. As He greets me, He greets you. We are blessed to be welcomed with the continual fill of His love, warmth, comfort, and embrace. Let us model the greeting of our Lord.
Dear Lord, we bless your name. You are marvelous in everything. Help us to love and greet one another as you have greeted us. Help us to use our worship, thanksgiving, and praise as the ultimate greeting to You in Jesus name, amen.
In God, I will keep on thanking Him for welcoming me with His love. By Hertistine Washington/keeponthanking.com
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). Happy New Year everyone! I thank God for this New Year and the newness it will bring. We all are familiar with the phrase, “Out With the Old; in With the New.” Though it’s a simple phrase, it means different things to different people.
It could be a bit confusing depending on how you look at it. Out with the old… what? In with the new… what? Surly we don’t want to get rid of old landmarks that have enriched our lives and our nation. I’m certain we don’t want to model the destructive new trends we see everyday. So what could we mean “out with the old and in with the new?” Some may respond, out with the old furnishings; in with the new. Out with the old night club; in with the new. Out with the old hair style; in with the new.
But for those who have accepted Jesus as Savior, this phrase is very clear. It means just what it says. In Christ, we’re out with the old nature and in with the new. We are no longer craving, or looking for satisfaction from the old worldly kind of joy, love, ambitions and attitudes. We have a new love, joy, hope, mind, attitude, purpose, outlook. We have a new motive. That motive is to glorify and magnify our Lord Jesus.
Dear Lord, help us to model the newness we have in You.
In God, I will keep on thanking Him for the newness of life through Christ Jesus. By Hertistine Washington/keeponthanking.com
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4″6-7).
Thanking God for His peace right now. A peace that surpasses all understanding. A peace that bands worriedness and anxiousness; no intrusions, breakins, or seizing for the enemy. Just peace; God’s peace.
His peace alone is soothing, with the absence of sulking; calming, with no sense of alarming; tranquil, without being tranquilizing; and relaxing, ours for the asking. As we approach the New Year, know that God’s peace is still here.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives so I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” (John 14:27 ESV)
In God, I will keep on thanking Him for His continuing peace. By Hertistine Washington/keeponthanking.com
