The 5 Best Quotes about Thankfulness & Free Printable - Coffee & Conversation



Here is my choice for the 
5 Best Quotes on the subject of Thankfulness







I am not a fan of QUOTES

In fact sometimes I get very annoyed at how people almost treat a quote
 as more important than the 
Word of God


I actually wrote a blog post about Do We Really Need This Quote?








However I do see that there are certain topics that there are some great quotes on from some very reliable people. This month I have been thinking about Thankfulness and Gratitude and decided to encourage you with some quotes around this.

There are many quotes from so many people on Thankfulness but I prefer to only refer to or recommend ones from people who I trust as standing firm on the Word of God.

So in the list below I will quote


Not  Joyce Meyer    but   Warren Wiersbe

 Not  Beth Moore   but   Andrew Murray  

Not  Andy Stanley  but   A.W. Tozer





1.  Warren Wiersbe

"The Christian who walks with the Lord and keeps constant communion with Him will see many reasons for rejoicing and thanksgiving all day long."






2.  A.W. Tozer

"Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be not poorer but richer for having made it."




 



3.  Andrew Murray

"Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts."






Have you read the 5 Best Quotes on Thankfulness?






4.  Charles Spurgeon

"Be thankful for the providence which has made you poor, or sick, or sad; for by all this Jesus works the life of your spirit and turns you to Himself."





5.  Jerry Bridges


   "Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God."

The 5 Best Quotes on Love + Free Printable - Coffee & Conversation








I am not a fan of QUOTES

In fact sometimes I get very annoyed at how people almost treat a quote
 as more important than the Word of God

I actually wrote a blog post about Do We Really Need This Quote?








I'm taking a theme of Love this month which is no surprise because it is February but I not looking at Love because of Valentine's Day but centred around God's Love.

I have seen soppy love quotes, and funny love quotes but I'm looking at serious love quotes from people I would respect.

So in the list below I will quote


Not  Lysa Terkeurst   but   Corrie Ten boom

Not  Brennan Manning   but   Jerry Bridges   

Not  Rick Warren   but   C.S. Lewis





1.  St. Augustine
          "God loves each of us as if there were only one of us."








2.  Corrie Ten Boom
"There is no pit so deep, that God's Love is not deeper still."








3.  Jerry Bridges
"God's unfailing love for us is an objective fact affirmed over and over in the Scriptures. It is true whether we believe it or not. Our doubts do not destroy God's love, nor does our faith create it. It originates in the very nature of God, who is love, and it flows to us through our union with His beloved Son."






4.  Charles Spurgeon
"When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God's love."

5.  C.S. Lewis


I could not decide between these two quotes so I've included them both
(I had the same problem in The 5 Best Quotes on Forgiveness too)


"You cannot love a fellow creature fully till you love God."

 




"To ask that God's love should be content with us as we are is to ask that God should cease to be God."















and I know that C.S. Lewis is definitely reassuring us all when he also said

"Though our feelings come and go,

God's love for us does not."

However I've been thinking about Forgiveness this month and there are some good quotes on the topic.

I have seen quotes from so many people on Forgiveness but I prefer to only refer to or recommend ones from people who I trust as standing firm on the Word of God.

So in the list below I will quote


Not Joel Osteen   but   St. Augustine

Not Joyce Meyers   but   Corrie Ten Boom   

Not William P Young (author of the Shack)   but   C.S. Lewis





1.  Saint Augustine

"Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again."



2.  John Bunyan
"No child of God sins to that degree as to make himself incapable of forgiveness."




3.  Charles Spurgeon
"I believe that as often as I transgress, God is more ready to forgive me than I am ready to offend.  "


4.  Corrie Ten Boom
"Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart."

5.  C. S. Lewis


I could not decide between these two quotes so I've included them both
(I had the same problem in The 5 Best Quotes on Love too)
"I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves.  Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him."

 

"I find that when I think I am asking God to forgive me I am often in reality.... asking Him not to forgive me but to excuse me."









and I cannot but think that C.S. Lewis is definitely speaking for us all when he said

"We all agree that forgiveness is a beautiful idea until we have to practice it."

A Recipe for St. Patrick's Day - with FREE Printable



While I was writing a post a few years ago about Saint Patrick's Day my husband suggested I should have added my own


 St. Patrick's Day recipe.






Really he was just thinking of his favourite

 "wee green things" 

which is his name for the


 "Peppermint Squares"

I make for him.





I have to admit they are so yummy that they are quite addictive even for me and I am not usually keen on mint.  



So I decided to put the recipe here just in case anyone else likes "wee green things".


































This recipe originally came to me from Fred's Mum but the problem was my mum-in-law never measured things out accurately (you know a handful of this and a scoop of that) so I had to do that part of it myself and I think I got it perfected after a couple of years into our marriage.  (Even if it is a mixture between UK & US measurements.)



So I think it can have the 






I really should have made up a St. Patrick's Day name for them  -  maybe you can suggest one?
