Thanksgiving Sunday Reflection

Today is Thanksgiving Sunday.
As I look back on my life, I have so much to be thankful for.

There have been many days and many nights when I’ve cried out to the Lord.
I’ve cried with emotion, with anger, and with disappointment.
I have shed tears in many different ways.

There were times I couldn’t tell if God even heard me—
but the Holy Spirit kept strengthening me to trust in Him.

I am so thankful for my dear friends who pray for me and my family.
My Bible Study group feels like my own family.
They have prayed for me and with me, and I’ve felt their love deeply.

I can truly see the hand of God at work in our lives in so many ways.

I’m so thankful to God for keeping our family close to Him.
So thankful to God for healing Javon.
So thankful to God for my grandchildren, including Bry.
So thankful to God for my two daughters.

Friends, family is a blessing from God.

"…that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you forever."
—Psalm 30:12b
