For May 28th:

“I thank my God every time I remember you.”  Philippians 1:3 (NIV)

Last year was one of transition, one to which I am still in the process of adjusting.  I moved to a new city, several hours away from most of my family.  I left a job where I had been surrounded by wonderful co-workers for twenty years.  I ventured back into the challenging world of academia.  However, the hardest thing about the transition was leaving my church family.  I became a Christian six years ago and Christ United Methodist was the only church I had ever known.  The love, support, and acceptance I found there was like nothing I had ever experienced.  I am grateful every morning when I check my email and see a posting from “Living a Life of Gratitude.”  I may not recognize the name of the woman who wrote the story but I know she is part of the family I still have at Christ Church, the family I dearly love.  I do thank my God every time I remember them.
