Tankful Tursday !

Hey guys!

It's time for Tankful Tursday! A day where we can rejoice and shout from the rooftops all that we are Tankful for. It's a great alternative to wasting away in a sea despair and darkness! So, who's ready to get ouot of thier funk? I know I am!

Last week was a pretty rough one for me. I found it very hard to find even one thing to be Tankful for. Now I know it should not be that way, but it was. I really don’t know what even made the week the way it was. A cloud of depression hung over me like a storm that would not stop!

As I was contemplating (I love that word, it’s a fancy way of saying, “My brain is working hard”), about how hard things were, a song came on the radio. It was one by a Christian group called “Casting Crowns”. The name of the song is “Praise you in the storm”. What a lovely sentiment, that in the midst of trials and tribulations, you can still reach out and see the good! As hard as it is, sometimes we just need that little push through the gloom toward a new day. Well this song did it for me!

Here is the chorus for the song:

And I'll praise you in this storm

and I will lift my hands for

You are who You are

no matter where I am

and every tear I've cried

You hold in your hand

You never left my side

and though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm

So, what am I Tankful for on this Tankful Tursday?

I am thankful for a God you reaches down and wipes those tears away. A God who is right beside me, no matter what. A God who loves me and sees me for who I am.

I am Thankful for my wife and son who are the world to me!

And I am Thankful for the benefits that this surgery has brought to me!
