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.
