Psalm 31:19 How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you.
Three weeks ago, it was hard to think about the approaching holidays, particularly Thanksgiving. I couldn't think of what I had to be thankful for in the middle of such pain. But obviously I have a lot to be thankful for. God is good, and even in the midst of grief, his goodness is so evident.
So even though I don't understand why things happen the way they do, I choose to give thanks. And not just today. :)
***I have to add to this post this morning. Before bed last night, I decided to read the Message version of the verse above and I loved it. "What a stack of blessing you have piled up for those who worship you, ready and waiting for all who run to you to escape an unkind world." A STACK of blessing. Love that!

Thanks for sharing this verse from The Message Bible. Love "stack of blessing" as well. I may have to post this verse in my house somewhere. I'm thankful that you are willing to put your feelings out in the open and tell people what's going on in your life at this moment and how God is moving in your life.
