For January 10
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

I am thankful for the years I spent with my late husband, Jack. I am thankful for our three children. Thankful for the love, friendship and time we shared. I am thankful for the grace God showed me after his death. I am thankful for the hope that I will see Jack again. I am thankful for my sadness even some eight years later because my weakness is a magnet for Gods strength. Thankful that my sovereign God allowed his death to teach me so many  lessons: to count my blessings, not to take one second for granted, and the peace in knowing that God is my rock in any storm . Only God could be so good to allow me the joy I know today. He is responsible for all that is good in my life.  I have not always made the best choices and many of my life experiences have been difficult.  I am not always thankful for these things until I look back. I am thankful for what I could not see! I would not and could not know happiness, without my life experiences and for that I am thankful!!!  I am thankful for Tim who is a wonderful father to our children and an amazing husband. I am thankful for my six children. Yes, do the math, He doubled my blessings. God is good and for this I am most thankful. I do not think it would be real to say that any thanksgiving has come without effort. My link to God is in the journey more than the outcome. Thus creates, shapes and empowers my faith and gives me hope.
