"Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; In everything give thanks for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus."
I am thankful that He is the Resurrection and the Life and that those who believe in Him will never die. Never.
I am thankful that the Creator God of the universe--the God of omnipotent strength--promises to uphold me with all the strength that I will need for each day--for this day.
I am thankful for the Hope that rests on the eternal promise of the God who... cannot lie.
I am thankful for the rainbow of promise in the midst of the storm, the spring of new life and new growth that follows every winter, and the joy that comes in the morning.
I am thankful for a community that is devoted to prayer today and every day--continually.
I am thankful for a community that loves not just in word but in action.
I am thankful for His joy in my heart in the midst of sorrow.
I am thankful for tears and laughter.
I am thankful that His answer to the question "Why" is always the same, "This has happened because I love you and because in these times and in this place I am going to use you to glorify Me--to make me visible to those around you." And I testify that I have been immersed in His love and seen His presence in these times and in this place.
I am thankful that each moment we are closer to the reunion between the living and those who are now in His presence--"So shall we ever be with the Lord." "Even so, come Lord Jesus."
