Day 527 - November 24 - Thanksgiving Week Day 3

Well, I apologize for not posting sooner - full days this week. Today being Tuesday, and Tuesdays being the day that the garbage men come by our home, I probably ought to be thankful for the Trash Men!

And I am, but blogging about what I'm thankful for today has actually been a bit of a struggle for me. You see, I was praying the other day about knowing Christ more and better - I know Him better than I did two years ago, but I don't know Him enough. And so I was praying about that, and it's apparent what brought me closer to Him - I've grown closer to Him because of this crisis with Connor.

So I was (if you can imagine this) thanking God for the Trials in my life, because they've brought me to Him.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for drawing me closer to You through this trial. Would that I would have the courage to pray for more.

This is a tough one. I did think of Trials....but I can't honestly say that I'm at a point of thankfulness for them. But it would be nice if I were.
So I think I'll say TIME....I'm thankful that God is patient and gives us TIME to wrestle with the difficult things in our lives.

Thankful for transparency. You have become transparent to all of us through this trial Eric, and in turn we have learned to be more vulnerable and transparent.
When we can honestly be open to one another during our trials we all walk closer to God.
