Thankful Thursday

Every Friday there is a newsletter called "The Flash" that gets emailed to all of us at work. It's an internal newsletter at my job. Basically, it keeps people in the loop of what's going on at work, new groups, things for sell, charitable events. I skim it, usually. Well, a few weeks ago, I was taking a look at it...and much to my surprise and excitement...there was some information of a Bible study group that was just starting up and looking for anyone interested in joining. God in the workplace - how awesome is that!? There were enough people that signed up that two groups were formed.

A couple of weeks ago, I attended the first group meeting. We are going to study the book of Matthew through a study guide. It was great meeting new people that work with me who also have the same passion for God. People from different departments, different walks of life, different religions...all sharing in quite possibly the one thing they have in common...their love for God.

We all went around, in a group of about 14, saying a little bit of about ourselves and where we were in our walk of faith. I can't believe that I'm about to say this (or type it) but I was so excited that I wanted to cry, right then and there (I didn't, though). I wanted to cry because I was happy about what my group was sharing. I love to listen to people who are on fire for God...it's simply great. Side note: I have an issue with crying...but that's for another post, one day...maybe :).

God, today I am thankful for our Bible study at work.

"I will thank the Lord with all my heart as I meet with his godly people. How amazing are the deeds of the Lord! All who delight in Him should ponder them. Everything He does reveals his glory and majesty. His righteousness never fails." Psalm 111:1-3
