“Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning. ”
Psalm 30:4-5
Today I’m thankful…
- That I was able to send in another paper this morning
- That I had a chance to quilt a bit with my dear friend Joanna (it’s been too long, far too long!)
- That I found a nice little MP3 player for uber-cheap. Now I can listen to sermons and audio lectures and audio books whenever and wherever I want. (I am my father’s daughter.)
- That I had a nice chat with my mom and my brother when we dropped by to see mom’s “mother of the groom” dress
- That I sent in the last grades and am done teaching for the semester.
- That I had such wonderful instructors to work with this semester.
- That I have a gardening and dinner date with my dad this evening.
- That dawn breaks, signaling an end, perhaps, to this dark night
I am so very thankful for the great faithfulness of my Savior. As the hymn says “Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine with ten thousand besides.” I have been so blessed with His presence and guidance through the land of shadow–and in Him I have hope for the haze of a thousand tomorrows.
Thank You, my Lord, for the morning.
I’m so happy for you!
I’m glad you are doing better, that you’re done with the stress of teaching this semester, that you got to relax and hang out with Joanna and that you are once again being reminded that “through it all…”
“God is faithful”
Love you, my dear!
That’s an awesome list of things to be thankful for! Thanks for sharing that “morning verse.” Although you posted it yesterday – it’s perfect for me today! Thanks! (And have a great weekend!)
