“Maybe now is the time to offer a true sacrifice of thanksgiving, trusting that God has allowed even the worst circumstances for His unseen purposes.” Juli Slattery
The clock registered 11:20. God had answered the prayer "please take him this morning" that I’d prayed when watching him struggle for a breath. I stood, paced the room, sat on the floor, and through my tears thanked God for answering my prayer...taking Dad while still morning.
Have you had a crisis this year that you wouldn’t think could be God ordained? Can you find something to be thankful for even in the difficult times? As we approach Thanksgiving, what can you thank God for this year?
What are your thoughts?
