Eucharisteo

    Last week my friend and I started Ann Voskamp study, "1000 Gifts". It is on Eucharisteo ..Thanks!
Since beginning this study the day to day is not the same..what we see with physical eyes, there is more to it...the beauty of creation, the playfulness of our pets, the sound of a heart beat...these are GOD'S GIFTS...In it is HIS love for us!
In the picture above you see the other three words...each are from the root words in "Eucharisteo"...

Charis-Grace
Eucharisteo-Thanks
Chara-Joy

In one word we are given much and it turns back to GOD, for without HIM we would NEVER fully experience it! Grace, Thanks, Joy!! Simple three words and yet in our day to day routine we don't take time to enjoy GOD'S GIFTS. Each day you wake up its a gift...the creator has sustained you to experience another day, GOD'S LOVE is in abundance for us, will you take time to see it? To bask in it?

I really like what Ann shares about the 1000 gifts, She says,This dare to write down 1000 things I love, it really is a dare to name all the way GOD loves me, the true love dare!
How simple and beautiful is that?!! Do you know how much you are loved, how much OUR FATHER adores you right where you are at. 
If you are reading this and have not accepted JESUS as your savior, HE loves you and HE is waiting for you to accept HIM. Its really easy to do and you can do it right where you are it. I am going to share a simple prayer all you have to do is repeat it and mean it and you will be saved.

Dear Jesus,
Please forgive me for all my sins, cleanse me OH LORD, come into my heart, be LORD of my I surrender all to you, In JESUS name...AMEN!! 
(If you said that prayer..Praise GOD welcome to the family) Very important you get into a bible believing church where you can be discipled and grow in your new life as a Christian...I am so happy for you!

I want to end with this from Ann, its powerful in every season of life we go through...
In the silent times: Seek GOD
In the painful times: Praise GOD
In the terrible times: Trust GOD
At ALL times: Thank GOD 

Grace,Thanks,Joy..start your list of 1000 gifts today...please share what has been revealed, we are on this journey together will you celebrate..Eucharisteo...I sure am!!!! 

In CHRIST love and service,
Tina
