Today's Pondering: Are you living with a spirit of Thankfulness?
It seems appropriate to be thankful this time of year but what about December - October? Daily? In moments of struggle?
We all have times when we can easily be thankful, but the great challenge for many, myself included, is to have a spirit of thanksgiving even in the storms of life. When our Refiner is firing us, He is making us into a more beautiful vessel than we can even imagine.
May we all have the courage in the storms to say, "It is well with my soul."
