Six Notes Blog
Welcome to our Six Notes Blog. This is a place you’ll find blog posts to dive deeper into scripture or bible versees to reflect on. We also put together guided prayers, spotify playlists, screensavers, and images to inspire and encourage in your walk with Jesus.
There are many ways to connect with the Lord, get creative! God doesn’t care HOW you do it; He just desires you.
Thanksgiving Devotional
Thanksgiving might not be a biblical holiday but its reasons to celebrate are scattered throughout the Bible.
History of thanksgiving
Squanto was a Native American who became the pilgrims “trusted” friend by offering them help and wisdom to survive their first harsh winter in a new land. Please note that this is not a blog on history. The motives behind Squanto actions are not the point here. When the pilgrims celebrated their first successful harvest, they gave gratitude to God. During this feast Squanto was invited and he brought with 90 Native American friends who graciously served up plenty of wild turkey to prepare for the feast.
A Prayer For Thankful Hearts
As we draw upon Thanksgiving, take time to quiet your soul, pray this prayer, and meditate on the verses below.
Heavenly Father,
You are the giver of every good thing. Your blessings are beyond measure.
Your mercies never run out or expire. Perfection is not a prerequisite for your love.
Your grace is freely given, and repayment is never required.
You are a generous and faithful God.
With thanksgiving we surrender our hearts and open our hands.
We let go of that which we shouldn’t hold, to receive all that you have for us.
Shape us and use us for your purposes.
All glory and honor and praise be yours, forever and ever.
Amen
When I Rise - Morning Playlist
Some mornings we find our brain just too foggy to read another devotional, our hearts to heavy to study another verse or we just need to quiet our thoughts. If that’s you. If you just can’t open the pages today. That’s okay. Sit in the quiet. Go for a walk and take in the goodness of worship.
Jesus doesn’t care HOW we connect with Him. He cares that we just take the space to do so. So connect here in this playlist we created for you. Click here or the image below. Then be sure to save it to your library for later by clicking the heart.
Meaning of Pearl and the Merchant
This simple pearl is to remind us that we are of great value, you are treasured. One of the most loveliest possessions of all. And we serve a God that is willing to give up everything to redeem us. To pay for His beautiful pearl.
Psalms for praying - psalm 10
O Lord, you do see me. Yes you know my anguish and fears;you make yourself known to me when I commit myself into your hands. You are ever my strength and comforter. (Psalms for praying)

Some of the deepest moments of my faith journey has been picking up a good read and letting the charcters inspire me. Christian Fiction or better yet Biblical fiction has a way of opening up our mind into what life MAY have been like back then.
