The Lord has been dealing with me about a few things I need to implement through "The Daily Cup of Inspiration" as I reach out to you each day. Among those "few things" is the beginning of what I'll be calling "Thoughtful Thursdays," which is rooted in the scripture found in Romans 12:15 that says:
"Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep."
I don't know how you feel about it, but we ought be concerned about each other and seek the well-being of others. So, Thoughtful Thursdays will be a time when I'll be sharing relevant news, updates, and information regarding things that are going on in the lives of blog readers, as well as my own life. Though I won't be able to share everything, I'll prayerfully consider what to present to you.
This way, we'll remember to think of each other more often, pray for one another, and be aware of the needs, and also the victories of fellow Daily Cup readers. I'm a firm believer that we draw inspiration from one another and become more compassionate when we share in the ups and downs of others, amen?
We can't live only for ourselves; rather, we must be ever-mindful of the greater good and always strive to esteem others more highly than ourselves. "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others" (Philippians 2:3-4).
So now, let's drink down this week's cup of thoughtfulness:
1. One of our blog readers and contributing editor to EEW Magazine, Kennisha Hill, just had a brand new baby girl, Kerissa, last week! Congratulations to Kennisha. Since delivery, however, she's been having some serious issues with her blood pressure. I ask that all of you call out Kennisha's name in prayer, so that her blood pressure will regulate, resulting in a total and complete recovery. I know God is able.
2. If you missed the announcement last week, my Sister-in-Law, Patrice, who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer late last year, just finished up her chemotherapy and radiation, and she's doing wonderful! Thank you for your prayers. Be sure to send Trice an email to let her know you're excited for her. You can reach her by clicking on the link above which will take you to her website.
3. Daily Cup reader, Andrea Griggs, stepped out in faith and launched a brand new internet radio show called, Females with a Mission on Blog Talk Radio where she "encourages women to make their dreams become a reality through better health, wealth, relationships, and business opportunities." Be sure to listen to the show and support Andrea's new effort.
4. Also, I have a speaking engagement tonight in Niagara Falls, NY at Covenant of Grace Ministries. Pray that God will give me what to say and move by His spirit. I fully expect a great time in the Lord! I'll be sure to let you know about it in tomorrow's post...
If there's something you'd like to share with me and the Daily Cup readers, please email: dailycup@eewmagazine.com and I'd be glad to add you to the "Thoughtful Thursdays" list if I'm able. I welcome and appreciate any thoughts & feedback regarding this new direction.
As always, thanks for reading, and until next time... may you be empowered to prosper!
Dianna Hobbs
