As I get older I realize that I’m more thankful now than I was in my younger years. Not like I’m old now mind you, I just turned 37, but my mind and my heart seems to have matured way beyond that of some elderly that I have encountered. I’ve often said to be in the age of wisdom (where you’re expected to be wise) and not be wise is a shame. I couldn’t imagine going to an elder seeking advice and what they give me leads me to the edge of a cliff. Or worse have me commiting suicide. So I began to pray for Wisdom. The bible says if a man lacks wisdom let him pray for it. Such a simple instruction. So I seek after it knowing that when I am unsure, God will speak and wisdom will guide me.
There is now a level of gratitude that I didn’t have before. God in his infinite wisdom has blessed me with wisdom and I’m grateful. See, I say thank you to him not because I haven’t had hard times, been inch high from a grasshopper, just sick instead of sick and tired, depressed, stressed, unloved, unwanted, abused, and just about anything else bad, but because I have. I say thank you because I now see his hand in all things. Without all of the bad how could I tell others about how he can turn it all around. Your life is a testimony but it’s not for you. It’s for your daughters, your sons, neighbors, co workers, friends, and those that he places in front of you. So I tell him thank you!! I yearn to see you delivered. Ask me a question and I will surely tell you how he saved me so that you can be saved as well. We often think it’s alllllll about us…. well just like Isaiah said,”Send me Lord, I’ll go.” Not for us but for those around us. I’m forever thankful for all that he has done. Hallelujah!!!!
