It was one of those days. It had been a rough night, my kids were fighting every few minutes, and nothing about the day seemed to be going right. I knew I should be thankful. After all, it was “just a bad day, not a bad life” but I was still having trouble getting my heart right. As I was praying, the Lord brought this song to my mind. 

 I will enter His gates with Thanksgiving in my heart 

I will enter His courts with praise 

I will say this is the day that the Lord has made 

I will rejoice for He has made me glad. 

 I don’t think I had heard it for many years, but there it was. God is always so faithful to bring reminders to us when we need them the most, and I REALLY needed the reminder that day. Truth be told, I had been struggling for about a week with letting my worries and day to day issues live at the forefront of my mind instead of my blessings.  It was in the middle of my bad attitude that the Lord reminded me, through this song, that my circumstances and emotions do not get to dictate whether I have a heart of thanksgiving. The fact that “this is the day that the Lord has made” is enough to warrant thankfulness. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in allcircumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 

Some synonyms of thankfulness are gratitude, appreciation, and gratefulness. He is worthy of our gratitude/appreciation/gratefulness because he is God. We need no reason other than he is the creator and we are the creation, but he is a good God who loves us so much that he also gave us Jesus. No matter how my day is going, no matter what situation I am in, I can choose a heart of thankfulness because of the freedom I have in Jesus. Even in our sin, he became the sacrifice and took our punishment for us so we could live in freedom on Earth and in heaven with him someday. If that is not something to be thankful for, I don’t know what is!  

Having a heart of thanksgiving may not change our situation, but it will change our mindset. Saying “I choose to be thankful” will shift our focus to the Lord instead of the problem and bring about peace even in the middle of a trying day. Isaiah 26:3 says, “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” If we can be intentional about having a thankful heart on the good days, it will come a lot easier to us on the bad days. 

Cultivating a heart of thanksgiving may not come easy at first, and that is okay. Sometimes, especially in the middle of our trials, all we can really start with is “thank you, God.” In my experience, as I get into the habit of saying “thank you, God” instead of only complaining to God, specific blessings from the Lord come to my mind much faster. I can then say “thank you God for the blessing of…” because we know if it is good, it is from the Lord. James 1:16-17 says, “Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.” 

God is so good to us, friends. He loves us and wants us to live a life full of joy and peace no matter our circumstances. Let’s remember to thank him today. “I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.” Psalm 9:1 

We would like to thank Courtney Harper for sharing this post.

When my grandkids were younger and they came to visit, after they left their handprints would be all over my glass front door and patio door! (BTW I’m a clean freak) But God showed me something from these precious handprints and fingerprints…. They were a blessing! So I would leave them for a few days just so I could remember how much they bless my life and how much I love them💕💕

Have you ever had a situation that allowed you to look at it as either a blessing or curse? 

As I prepared to write this blog I began to pray, read other blogs and even listen to podcasts. But my thoughts were racing in every direction. Finally, I sat down and had a talk with The Lord and during that time the hymn, “Count Your Blessings” by Johnson Oatman, Jr. came to my mind. Needless to say, it’s been a long, long time since I have heard or thought about that hymn.

God began to reveal to me that a heart of thanksgiving grows from us counting our blessings in all circumstances.

A thankful heart can change your entire perspective and outlook on life. One of the best ways to experience the power of thanksgiving is through prayer and counting your blessings. Even when the going gets tough (or your glass doors are covered with handprints) you can experience blessings. When we offer a prayer of thanks to God, our focus shifts from our problems to our blessings. And that’s the beauty of faith – we can experience gratitude and give thanks despite the circumstances and storms that surround us.

So here’s the question…

How do we learn to have a heart of thanksgiving? 

Count your blessings!! 

Like the hymn says:

“When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.”

So when I count my blessings and see what God has done in my life…I have a heart of thanksgiving.

I want to share a few of my blessings :

#10 Sunrises and sunsets at the farm. 

There’s just something majestic about seeing a sunrise from your front porch with coffee in hand. And walking my fur baby, Nala in the evening and watching the sun race down and light up the sky… Thank you Jesus!

#9 Our farm! 

Larry farms land that his great grandfather homesteaded in the late 1800’s. Lots of blood, sweat and tears have gone into The Lutrick Farms. And with the drought that has affected us the last 3 years, we still look at our farm and life as a blessing from The Lord! Thank you, Jesus, for always meeting our needs.

#8 My health. 

As I get older, I count it a blessing that I feel good and have no major health issues. I may be a little slower getting up from the floor while playing with my grandbabies BUT I get up! Thank you, Jesus!

#7 A good cup of coffee! 

I’m kinda a coffee snob; I like my flavored coffee … just black!! It’s a simple blessing but one of my favorite things is to wake up and have my coffee. I even love a good cup of coffee after dinner! Right now, I’m loving my Pumpkin Spice, Dark Chocolate Hazelnut and Wild Blueberry …just to name a few!

#6 My front porch!

 It’s one of my favorite places to hang out unless it’s extremely hot or windy! Sitting on the porch you can see as far as the eye can see- It’s full of wildflowers, butterflies, hummingbirds (sometimes), and in the evening you can see stars, moon, planets and even the Lubbock lights. Country living at its best!

#5 My life group. 

Our Life Group is full of loving people, caring people, funniest story tellers, best cooks, prayer warriors and they all have a heart for The Lord! I’m blessed by each member. 

 “A friend loves at all times” Proverbs 17:17

#4 My Church. 

My blessings are overflowing from the people in my church. I’m blessed to serve others, pray for others, be loved by others, hear God’s word and get the best hugs at my church!! 

HCF- Love Jesus- Love People!

#3 My grandkids and family!

I’ve written about it before, in a past blog “This is my circus and these are my monkeys” and I wouldn’t have it any other way!!  8 out of my 9 grandchildren live close by and I see them as much as possible and can watch them grow up.  My three kids love Jesus and have been blessed with wonderful spouses. And most of my extended family live nearby, so we get to see each other often!  I’m truly blessed with a wonderful family.

#2 My husband. Larry is my best friend, he loves Jesus, he works hard, he’s a gentle giant with the grandkids, and loves me unconditionally even when I have crazy ideas. I count Larry as one of my best blessings because God put two imperfect people together, drew us closer to Him and now through the power and authority of Jesus Christ- our lives are transformed and His forever. I love doing life with Grumpy!

#1 My Jesus!

God rescued me and transformed my heart, mind and actions. He has become my “go to” person when I have any questions, struggles, fears, prayer needs or just need to bounce off my crazy ideas. He truly is my friend, my rescuer, my healer, my Lord and Savior. 

So as I count my blessings and see what the Lord has done in me and for me my only response is a heart of thanksgiving. I read that Satan is defeated when we have a thankful heart because thankfulness during difficulty is a sacrifice pleasing to God. So when the going gets tough… count your blessings and build a heart of thanksgiving.

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. – 

1 Thessalonians 5:18

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

It took me a long time to understand that this verse was saying IN all circumstances, not FOR all circumstances.  

Five years ago I found out I had breast cancer.  Though I wasn’t thankful for the cancer, I had many things to be thankful for.  I was so very thankful that it was me and not some other member of my family.  I had the fact that it was found quickly and was treatable with surgery and radiation.  God gave me total peace in the situation and I was thankful that I could feel His presence throughout the whole ordeal. 

I had two dear friends who were going through breast cancer during the time I was.  One of those friends and I made the trip to Lubbock every day to have radiation together.  This was a special time of fellowship and drawing strength from each other.  Her cancer was aggressive and after lots of chemotherapy, she eventually passed away.  I never heard her complain, even when the cancer broke her back.  My other friend with cancer also passed away after much suffering.  Sometimes I feel guilty that I was allowed to live and they weren’t.  However, sometimes I am jealous because they fought the good fight and won the race.  They kept the faith and received the prize.  I’m so thankful for both of these sweet friends and all the special memories I have of them.  They were both an inspiration to many.

According to Psalm 69, Thanksgiving is a sacrifice on the altars of our hearts. At times, we won’t feel thankful, but it is in those moments that grateful hearts will become the most pleasing sacrifices to the Lord.

This past week, my sweet 39 year old cousin died of cancer.  It was such a sad time, but even in those times of mourning as the family and friends gathered around each other to offer comfort, there were so many sweet memories of Brandi that we could all be so thankful for.  And we could be thankful that God lent her to us for 39 years.  Sometimes thanksgiving is a sacrifice, but in all circumstances there is something to be thankful for. Brandi touched so many lives and even more so as she was faithful to the end.

A heart of thanksgiving will give us strength in seasons of sorrow and pain.  And thanksgiving grows stronger the more it is practiced. 

It’s easy to be thankful when everything seems to be going well.  The sacrifice comes when we make a conscious effort to be thankful.

Colossians 3:17  “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

When you begin to count your blessings, you find that there are so very many things to be thankful for.

We want to thank Naomi Jones for sharing this post.

“I come to Your altar, O Lord, singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders.”  Psalm 26:6b-7

When I was growing up, my mom and dad put a lot of emphasis on good manners:  saying, “Please” and “Thank you,” “Yes ma’am,” “No ma’am,” and such things as these.  Because of that, I’m very conscious of the need to be thankful, not just at Thanksgiving time, but year-round.  These days, though, it’s not just good manners that has me feeling thankful.  The older I get, the more I find that I am counting my blessings, and there are so many!  Do you mind if I share a few with you?

I’m thankful that there was a woman and a man back in 1960 who wanted a baby, but had not been successful, so they worked it out to adopt a baby girl.  I count that as a big, big blessing.

I’m thankful that my mother decided she needed to raise us in church (yes, “us” – she had a baby boy after she got me), so we were “dragged” to St. Matthew Methodist Church every Sunday, V.B.S., youth camp, you name it!

I’m so thankful for the gospel!  Thankful that there is a God who wants us to know Him!  Thankful that he reached me after I rebelled.  I count that blessing every day.

I’m grateful for my wonderful husband, who has put up with me for all these 37 years.  Beyond grateful for two beautiful babies who arrived after two miscarriages.  

As I count my blessings, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for all the godly friends I have known over the years, in several different churches.  There are many friends who have gone on to heaven, but that’s another blessing counted, because there they will be when it’s my turn.  

I’m grateful and thankful to have worked for the past 25 years at the same school where I student taught and where my children went to school.  I love my school family with all my heart, including those who have since moved to other schools or have graduated to heaven.

Grandchildren – all 4, our hometown of Plainview, life and health, our church, the blessings just go on and on!

How about you?  As you have read my list, what blessings popped into your head?  

The news media likes for us to concentrate on all the ills and troubles round about us.  However, I’ve noticed that the more I count my blessings, the less the troubles of the world impact me.  

In this season of Thanksgiving, I pray that you are overwhelmed with gratitude for what God has done in the past, what He is doing now, and what He will do in the future.  

         “For all that You’ve done I will thank You, for all that You’re going to do,

         For all that You’ve promised and all that You are, and all that You’ve carried me through,

         Jesus, I thank You!”

Happy Thanksgiving!

I had a friend text me today just to check in on me.  She knows I have been growing (yes, growing, not going) through a season right now. It was a simple text, just saying she was thinking about me and my family and wanted to see how we were doing. At this point in my life, I have several friends that text me and that I text just to have a quick check in with them. This was not always the case for me, and it was something I prayed for often only a few years ago. 

Making friends as an adult can be so difficult. Most of us want someone with similar interests, but someone who will also introduce us to new things. If a person is married or has kids, it’s easier if their friends are married and/or have kids. Location is definitely a plus too.

A few years ago, I had a lot of people I referred to as “work friends,” meaning, we were friends because we worked at the same location, spent many hours together, and because of that we had some similar interests. Those “work friends” were important, but not the kind of friends that text me to just check in on me. 

A few years back I was going through some “growing pains” and realized I didn’t have close friends to lean on. No one texting me to check in on me. I felt alone. My husband was always willing to listen, but I needed a female’s perspective. I wanted friends. Not just one, but a group. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.” Verse 12, “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”

This is what I wanted for times when I was being attacked by the enemy. I no longer wanted to feel broken or defeated. The enemy knows that we are most vulnerable when we are alone. He tries all kinds of tactics to separate us, make us feel alone or unwanted. The feeling I had of “being too much” or that sharing my problems would be a burden to others, were lies from the enemy.  So, I began praying about having friends I felt comfortable being vulnerable around. Friends who would want to celebrate my birthday with me. Friends who would text me just to check in on me. Friends raising their kids in a similar way, whom my kids would enjoy playing with. 

Not only did I pray, but my husband and I decided we needed to invest our time in making friends as well. This meant inviting people to our home for a meal, meeting at the park, and joining a life group. Trying to make adult friends truly felt like dating again. Seeing if the family was a ‘good fit’. God answered my prayers with a quiver full of friends to call on and to celebrate. God doesn’t want us to be alone in our battles. He wants us to link arms, fight together, and sometimes cry together. This takes prayer, time investment, and vulnerability. It’s worth every bit though.

What does friendship look like?

Identifying the beauty and joy in friendships can come with ease, but putting in the effort to maintain and steward our friendships takes intentionality and effort.

We are created for community. God created us not to be isolated beings, but rather people who live life together. The primary way that we as Christians live in community is by belonging to the church. 

²⁴And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, ²⁵ not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25

When we are in close relationships with other believers, we have people to pray for us, support us, encourage us, and serve alongside us, and in return we have people that we can pray for and minister to. If you are new to the church, come early to the gatherings and stay late, engaging in conversations. Jump into a life group. Meaningful relationships can take time to develop but keep trying.

A demonstration of a great friendship and love for their friend was the four men going to see Jesus’ teaching, but the crowd was so large, they had to carry their paralyzed friend’s mat to the roof, where they dug a hole and lowered their friend right in front of Jesus. Jesus healed the man, and he jumped up and walked off. (Mark 2: 1-12)

What an extraordinary measure of friendship.  

It doesn’t always take such a grandiose gesture. It can be sending a card or a knowing smile or hand squeeze. The older I get, the more grateful I am for God’s most treasured gift of friendship. I’m so thankful for the genuine women in my life whom I never have to question. They just show up in every way. This is one of my most treasured gifts.

When I was asked to write this blog, the very first thing that popped into my mind was the old hymn, “What a Friend we have in Jesus.”  And of course, He is the very bestest friend we will ever have.  But the second thought was, “What kind of friends do I have, or better yet what kind of friend am I?”  

I have recently read a devotional series on Job.  He had some good friends that came to him when he was at his lowest. (Job 2:11-13)  These friends were not next door neighbors; they traveled great distances to be with him.  And when they arrived, they didn’t try to cheer him up, or straighten up the house, or bring a casserole, or…all things I’ve done for a friend going through a difficult time.  No, these friends sat with him in silence for several days.  They tore their clothes and wept with him.  This teaches a great lesson of what friendship is like.  Friendship takes patience.   

At my worst moment in life, I, too, had four really good friends who came to me, sat with me, let me talk and cry, and cried with me.  The afternoon I told Don about committing adultery, Don took me and my belongings to my mother and left me there.  I’m not sure how my friends found out.  Yes they were disappointed in what I had done, but they continued to love me.  Yes, they had questions, but they didn’t condemn me with those questions.  We live in a small town, and in a small town, everyone knows everything about everyone’s business.  And most people like to share their opinions on that business.  But these friends stayed beside me after Don brought me back home, and in the days, weeks, months, and even years following continued to show their love and support and to help Don and I to heal, grow stronger in our faith and marriage.  Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”  My friend’s example in a very difficult time has been a huge lesson for me.  I don’t have to be the fixer for a friend in need, I just have to be a friend!

My little granddaughter is…well, she’s my granddaughter so you know what I’m going to say-she’s perfect.  But actually she’s not.  You see, Livi doesn’t have toes on her left foot.  And she only has 2 toenails on her right foot.  When Mary (my daughter) was pregnant with Livi, part of the amniotic sack flaked off in a string and wrapped around her toes.  She has nubs on her left foot.  (Toes are like fingers-she has the knuckles closest to her foot like the knuckles on a hand but that is all).  When she was born, we were so worried she might not be able to walk, or she would be in pain, but we were wrong.  She walks, runs, jumps, kicks, and dances like every other kid.  But I wonder about what kind of friends she will have growing up.  Kids can be curious and cruel at the same time.  When she has shoes on you can’t tell a difference.  But what will happen when she takes her shoes off?  How will the kids treat her?  We, her family, treat her like any other kid; it’s not an issue.  But will her friends treat her differently?   don’t have the answers to these questions, but I know who does.  Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.”  

What about us?  Do we stay by our friends when things look different from what we expect?  Do we sit with our friends in their times of distress and tear our clothes and weep with them? Do we hide our flaws in our “shoes”?  Do I?  These are questions we need to think about regarding the friends we keep.  I read a quote one time (I don’t remember who said it) “A friend is one of the best things you can be and the greatest thing you can have.”

“Why do we have to wait so long to get on the plane?”, Elliott asked impatiently…again. We were headed home from our recent vacation and had been placed in the last boarding group because of some last-minute flight changes. On all our other flights on this trip we had been placed in earlier groups, so an expectation had been formed in my son’s heart. We should be on that plane already.

And isn’t this the difficulty with waiting? Managing the expectations that have been formed in our hearts? 

“I should be married already. ALL of my friends are married.”

“I should be making more money than this. I’ve given everything to this company.”

“I shouldn’t be sick. I eat well and exercise.”

“I should be pregnant by now. We’ve been trying for years.”

“We’ve been married for so long…I don’t think he will ever change.”

“I’m so sick of being heart-broken over this. I’ve prayed all the prayers I can pray.”

That last one is mine. It was my own confession a few weeks ago. I’ve been waiting for God to heal my broken heart and up until recently, I felt like I should be over it. I had cried all the tears I wanted to cry over this. 

But God. Despite my obstinance, He wasn’t through collecting my tears. During a recent church service learning about the ministry of Jesus to heal the broken hearted, I could no longer contain my tears. God still had some healing to do. He was still mending and though I had tried to convince myself otherwise, I was still hurting. 

During my single years when I grew impatient, waiting for God to give me my husband-to-be, He instead gave me this Word to stand on. 

“But those who wait on the Lord


Shall renew their strength;


They shall mount up with wings like eagles,


They shall run and not be weary,


They shall walk and not faint.”

Isaiah 40:31

Did you catch that? Those who wait on the Lord…

Not…

“Those who wait on a husband…a child…a job…an answered prayer…”

No. Those that wait on Him.

Waiting on Him renews our strength and enables us to endure the hard seasons of waiting without weariness and without unsteadiness. If we aren’t waiting on Him, our focus will only be on our prayer being answered and if that season of waiting is a long one, maybe years or decades, we will certainly grow weary and unsteady. What we need more than our prayers being answered, is to be in communion with the one who answers our prayers. 

I learned in that season and was gently reminded in this season that when we wait on the answer to our prayers only, when the answer comes, we only get the answer. But when we wait on Him and the answer comes, we get the answer and the answer-giver. Some of the most meaningful times I’ve had with Jesus were during seasons of waiting because I was waiting on Him. And with Him. And it’s what I’m doing now as I wait for Him to mend my broken heart. 

“What if my answer never comes?”, you ask. It might not, but if you’re waiting for Him, you’ll have Him no matter what. And He’s all you really need.

If you aren’t in a season of waiting, you will be or you recently were. All of us go through them. 

Maybe you’re waiting for your husband. Waiting for a dream. Waiting for a child. Waiting for healing. Waiting for a move. Waiting for a promotion. Waiting for a friend.

We can all think of something we’d like to see God do on our behalf—a hope, a desire, a longing. And in that space between our prayer and his answer, we find ourselves waiting. 

For some your wait is short, and for others it can make your heart feel sick with hope long deferred. 

But our hope is never lost because his love is never deferred. The Bible tells us that hope does not disappoint because we have God’s love in our hearts through the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:8).  

If you feel disappointed and hopeless, if your heart feels sick with longing, can I encourage you today to open your hands and receive the love of our Father? 

When we receive it, God’s immeasurable, unfathomable, unconditional love becomes the comfort and security we hold on to in our seasons of waiting. 

My husband and I spent nine years waiting to hold our first child. Nine years of longing for what we did not yet have. Nine years of praying for and believing what we had not yet seen come to pass. Nine years of hoping. 

One of the greatest battles I faced was recognizing that I’d connected God’s love for me with what he was doing. Or in this case, not doing. To wait for years and years, to get another no over and over again, to watch those around me receiving what I wanted (and admittedly, they didn’t always) felt very unloving. 

Here’s the truth. Equating God’s love with my circumstances is a manipulation of who he is. I had to recognize repentantly that I was angry because God wasn’t doing what I wanted. If he loves me so much, why wouldn’t he do this for me? The flip side of that? I was withholding my love because God wasn’t doing what I wanted. Ouch!

You know why I call that manipulation? Because it makes love conditional. If God loves me, he will do this for me. If he does this for me, then I will love him.

Once I recognized that God’s love is unconditional, the power of this truth transformed my life. It still transforms me even now. And it’s a good thing, my friend. I’m so grateful God’s love isn’t based on my performance. At the time, I wanted it to be because it felt like control. If only I could do something, he’d love me enough to answer my prayer. Today I’m so thankful he answered my prayer in spite of any works on my part. He loves me no matter what. And I love him whether he’s answering my prayers today—or not. 

He loves you too. Like really loves you. Do you know that? If not, ask God to show you how much he loves you today.

2 Corinthians 5:7 says, “For we live by faith, not by sight.” For as long as I can remember, this has been my favorite verse. I got saved when I was in third grade, so I practically grew up in the church. When I was a young girl, if I got up in church to say a verse, this is the one I would pick. 

The definition of faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something. And the definition of trust is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. I really believe as young children we have lots of faith because it is so easy to believe even when we do not see something. 

As I got older, I always went to church on and off. But since coming to Harvest, I can honestly say my faith has grown so much. God has showed me his goodness and faithfulness all those years when I didn’t feel as close to him. Also, I feel like my faith has increased through other people’s testimonies and what God has done in their life. I have seen people overcome many hard circumstances like having cancer or losing a loved one, and I’ve also seen God bless a family with a child after years of waiting. I believe my faith has increased so much through these testimonies of God’s goodness and faithfulness. Sometimes we don’t see something come to pass for many years, and then it happens! 

I would always pray for my family and their salvation, and God has been faithful in showing me, even though it took a while. I remember when my older brother invited me to church. While I was in the service, God reminded me of my prayers for my family, and I was immediately filled with joy. I also have multiple people in my family and friends as well who have been to church and have now given their life to God. 

So, we “walk by faith and not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). I remember coming to Harvest and asking God, “Why is this my favorite verse?” I felt like I always said it was because it was short and easy to remember. But I told him I really want to know what the true meaning of this verse is. Honestly, I didn’t think about it too much after I asked him that, and then I got asked to write this blog, and wow! So many things came to mind that God has done to show himself faithful in my life. My faith has increased so much and continues to grow. You have to have faith. Trust God. Believe it is done. 

Most people want to see it to believe it. We have to accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be. Faith does not make things easy. It makes them possible!

So we have to ask ourselves: Are we walking by faith or by sight?
