What does your day hold? Do you have it all planned out or is your schedule uncertain? Will today be a restful day or one filled with many tasks? Are you at peace or are you feeling anxious? How are you greeting the morning?

On this Thankful Thursday, no matter what is ahead of you, focus on giving thanks as you do it all in the name of Jesus Christ your Savior. As you face an already planned day or an uncertain schedule, give thanks for the blessings your day will hold. Begin your day with an attitude of gratitude and be a witness to the love of Christ in your life as you interact with others. Be mindful today of your words and actions. May all you say and do be a reflection of Christ at work in you.

The liquid in the bowl in this picture is punch which is a long way from wine. However, it is an example of starting with water and it resulting in something quite different which reminds me of the first miracle Jesus performed when He turned water into wine. Read the full account in John 2:1-12.

There are so many aspects of this story that intrigue me. However, on this Water walking Wednesday I ask do you believe miracles happen today? What miracles have you witnessed? How have miracles affected your life?

I believe there are millions of miracles happening around us that we don’t often see or recognize. We rush through our days trying to accomplish the next task and stumble past the miracle that God’s hands have created or performed. Our eyes are closed or blinded by the shiny distractions of the world. Today I ask you to slow down, clear your eyes, open your ears, heart and mind, and intentionally look for miracles big and small.

Water walking really is a miracle too. So today as you step out of your boat to walk on water, thank the God of miracles for your faith, trust and courage that sustain your steps.
