Thirty Days of Thanks: Day 26~How

































Sonya McCllough is my guest today. Her words are tender and authentic and a beautiful example of the way thanks-giving transcends our circumstances.

How do you give thanks …
When your Mother dies on the first day of each new year?
How do you give thanks …
When another black Friday marks the day of death for your Dad?
When all the thoughts roll back and forth in your head?
How do you give thanks …
When your fifty and you’ve yet to wed?
How do you give thanks when much of good has been washed away?
How do you give thanks when much of life has been caught by wind?
How do you give thanks when a holiday seasons begins with end?
How do you give thanks when she died on new years day?
How do you give thanks when it’s been long since your mother had a say?
How do you give thanks when grief is just tears away ?
How do you give thanks when you know that, your not alone?
How do you give thanks when joy is HIS provision?
How do you let go of the grief that wants to enfold?
How do you give thanks when you know the end of story?
How do you give thanks when your posture must speak the truth of HIS story.
How do you give thanks when your peace is tied to HIS glory?
How do you give thanks when each life is but a vapor?
How do you give thanks when all is HIS to take and give?
How do you give thanks when there is love in the beginning?
How do you give thanks when there is more love in the ending?
How do you give thanks when HE washed your tears away.
With each new and gift of day.
Thank you, Sonya! You can read more of Sonya’s words at Sonya Mac Designs
