God heals my daughter, my son; I say "thank you."
He washes away my migraine; I am thankful.
Strep throat heals; praise You, Lord.
Husband returns home safely through relentless winter storm; thank You, God.
my Uncle dies from bone cancer...
a friend's wife leaves him, files for divorce...
a church closes, sheep scattered....
twin baby boys die within months of each other...
an Uncle is blind, wants to see...
When am I thankful? Am I thankful only when things happen as I think they ought? Am I thankful only when people are healed? Am I thankful when God maintains the lungs, the heart, so the person remains within life and turns from death?
Am I thankful for the storms? Am I thankful for God's way, not mine? Am I thankful when tragedy strikes, for sickness, for death, for stomach-turning surprises, for questions that fall from my lips...
Is God only good when life happens how we're hoping?
or is He good through it all, in it all....
give me a thankful heart, Lord, that You are a faithful God. I love You.
