I am thankful for:
- Small group Thanksgiving dinner last night.
- Mental wherewithal for a busy work day. I am grateful to have a job, but I'm also glad when I can shut down my work computer.
- Getting re-grounded in the gospel. I have been wrestling with a justice issue lately, namely domestic abuse. There's nothing wrong with caring deeply about justice and wanting to be an advocate in anyway I can. But if I lose my gospel center and only see the here and know and where we've gone wrong, I can become frustrated, pessimistic, and react as though expecting the worst. I cannot forget that real healing only comes through Jesus Christ. He renews and restores from the inside out, He will never crush a bruised reed or extinguish a smoking flax. And there will come a day when all wrongs will be right when He returns. Even so come quickly, Lord Jesus.

There will come a day when all things will be right...looking forward to that day. Hope you have a wonderful weekend
