Sorry I dissappered suddenly like that last night but we had a sudden thunderstorm and I had to scramble to turn the computer off.

Hope you don't feel I was being nosey. : )

Of course not. There's a big difference between "nosey" and "concerned" and I know you are the latter. Thank you (((((Wolfie))))))

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever. —Psalm 30:12

When things go wrong, I would not be a grumbler,
Complaining, seeing everything as grim;
For when I think of how the Lord has blessed me,
I cannot help but give my praise to Him.

Instead of complaining about the thorns on roses, be thankful for the roses among the thorns.

God Is Alive!

Read: Psalm 30

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever. —Psalm 30:12

Bible In One Year: 1 Chronicles 28-29; John 9:24-41

The great 16th-century theologian Martin Luther once experienced a long period of worry and despondency. One day his wife dressed in black mourning clothes.

"Who has died?" asked Luther.

"God," said his wife.

"God!" said Luther, horrified. "How can you say such a thing?"

She replied, "I'm only saying what you are living."

Luther realized that he indeed was living as if God were no longer alive and watching over them in love. He changed his outlook from gloom to gratitude.

Occasionally we too live as if God were dead. When we are discouraged, we can turn to the Psalms. Some of the writers faced bleak and barren times, but they had one habit in common that kept them from being soured: giving thanks to God. For example, David wrote, "You have turned for me my mourning into dancing . . . . O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever" (Psalm 30:11-12).

Meeting every situation with thanksgiving isn't a denial of trouble. It helps us see those situations from God's perspective—as opportunities to discover His power and love.

Every time you express gratitude to God in a difficult situation, you're declaring, "God is alive!" —Joanie Yoder

When things go wrong, I would not be a grumbler,
Complaining, seeing everything as grim;
For when I think of how the Lord has blessed me,
I cannot help but give my praise to Him. —Hess

Instead of complaining about the thorns on roses, be thankful for the roses among the thorns.

And I pray the results of your blood work are either just great or indicative of anything that needs to be done. God bless you, Mayor, for you are a blessing to all.
