Thankful for So Much

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”  Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV

We have so much for which to be thankful.

That’s one way to say it.  I’m not much of a grammarian.

We have so much to be thankful for.

That’s better.

We really do have so much to be thankful for.  Even in a year marked by tragedy and sadness.  Maybe even especially in a year where our lives were irrevocably changed.

We are thankful for each other.  Debbie and I have been married 26 years (in just a couple weeks) and thank God every day for each other.

We are thankful for certainty.  We know where our son is.  We know that he is safe.  And we know we will see him again.

We are thankful for our family and friends who remind us every day that we are loved.

We are thankful for community.  We are thankful for our community where we are known and loved.

We are thankful for a God who loves us deeply and longs for us to know Him completely.

We are thankful for a God who watches over us every day and every night and whose mercies are new every morning.
