Dear Husband made an excellent point in his Thanksgiving sermon this morning. So often we look at Thanksgiving as a wonderful time to be appreciative of all we have. It's wonderful to cultivate an "attitude of gratitude." But like just writing a thank you note without sending it, we must remember to direct our thanks to God, the author of all good gifts.
And I also want to remember, that some good gifts come disguised. We can't celebrate with Sky today, but we know he is safe, and we are hopeful that the next few months will be a time of healing and grace. Only God can see the right side of the tapestry that is life--only he knows where every thread contributes to the pattern, and only he can take something that seems a horrible tragedy or mistake and make it beautiful. One day, I think we will see the whole of the tapestry, and we will be amazed at the picture on the front. It will not only make sense, but it will be lovely and grace-filled, and glorify God.
