Thankful

Yesterday we found out this sweet baby had to get tubes in her ears.

Yesterday in the "Jesus Calling" book this was the entry.

"THANK ME for the very things that are troubling you. You are on the brink of rebellion, precariously close to shaking your fist in My face. You are tempted to indulge in just a little complaining about my treatment of you. But once you step over that line, torrents of rage and self-pity can sweep you away. The best protection against this indulgence is thanksgiving. It is impossible to thank Me and curse Me at the same time.

Thanking me for trials will feel awkward and contrived at first. But if you persist, your thankful words, prayed in faith, will eventually make a difference in your heart. Thankfulness awakens you to My presence, which overshadows all your problems."

So today, I am thankful that God provides for my family. I am thankful my sweet baby can go to specialists that can help her. I am thankful that all of our "problems" are nothing compared to others. I am thankful that God is in control. He knows what we need and just when we need it.
