Something worth giving thanks for! - Divorce Minister
Give thanks to him every time you reflect on his holiness!
…
We may weep through the night,
but at daybreak it will turn into shouts of ecstatic joy.-Psalm 30:4b,5b, TPT
This is a strange one in 2020 like all things 2020. However, I know I am grateful for this holiday. It refocuses us on God’s love for us.
As we acknowledge His many gifts, we receive His love to us as expressed in those gifts. I hope you take time today to do just that.
This Thanksgiving I am struck at how God has wrought healing in my heart over the years.
On the eve of Thanksgiving 2012, I was called by my (now) ex-wife. It was in that conversation that all doubt was removed regarding her adultery. I will never forget that day or that conversation.
Yet today I give thanks.
I give thanks as that memory no longer has the painful power it once had over me. It is part of my story. However, I almost forgot it yesterday. This has taught me that God has done an amazing work of healing in my heart and life.
You see, the ending of a marriage to a cheater is not the end. I have discovered that it fades into a footnote over time as one lives one life. For that, I give thanks to God.
I share this story and experience to those of you facing an especially difficult Thanksgiving today. Healing is possible. I know I could not imagine life as I have it today.
