But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma
of the knowledge of Him in every place. For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 (NASB)

Living Out . . . In Every Thing Give Thanks!

We read in I Thessalonians 5:16-18, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Easy to read and easy to quote, but how about living it out? Oftentimes, that is very difficult.

Recently, my daughter and I have experienced some health issues. We shared with her that this is an opportunity for you to grow in your faith. I might add it has been a challenging time for our whole family.

Whatever challenge you or I encounter, our Heavenly Father is faithful and we can still experience joy and peace even when things are out of sync. Late this afternoon, the Lord saw fit to bless us with good news regarding some of these health issues. 

We conclude our evening with hearts full of joy! We are grateful for the many folks who have prayed with us along the way and who are continuing to pray.
