Giving Thanks - Kelly



Of all the attributes of God, of all His creation and His blessings, I am most thankful for God's faithfulness.

No matter how far I venture into my messed-up thinking, no matter how filthy I get while immersed in a project not of His design, no matter how high I raise my dusty, clay fist and accuse Him of unfairness, He is faithful to me.

He listens to my prayers and concerns and works them out in His own timing and plan. Not how I've suggested, of course, but so much better, bigger and more beautiful than I could have imagined.

Every once in awhile I get a shock when a sudden realization slaps me upside the head and I am aware that what is unfolding in front of me is something I prayed over months or years ago.

He is faithful to remember and to work out details which I've long forgotten.

Then He reminds me.

I hope your Thanksgiving is abundant and rich with blessings.
