Run in such a way as to get the prize. - 1 Corinthians 9:24 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:07:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://runinsuchaway.com/2009/11/24/thanksgiving-letters/comment-page-1/#comment-453 Karen Upchurch Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:55:58 +0000 http://runinsuchaway.com/2009/11/23/thanksgiving-letters/#comment-453 I very much appreciated these verses and liked what Kelly said about thanking God in difficult times. His graceful hand is everywhere and in everything and just asks us to hold it through good and in trying times. An amazing gift because God is always about love. A long time ago, a mentor told me to write a daily gratitude list. That little excercise, all by itself, gifts me with a daily reprieve from self and provides incredible perspective.

With both the worship team this past week and my high school girl's small group, we talked about not only the things that were easy to be thankful for, but the things in our life that it is most difficult to thank God for. Kind of like the song "Blessed Be Your Name" - give thanks when it is easy, and also when it is very hard. It is very powerful to praise Him for our problems and trials, and to remember that He is right there with us in the center of them and has a plan for our good. Happy Thanksgiving!
