In tumultuous times, Diana Butler Bass provides “A Word of Hope” HERE.
We need this now, just as we needed it during the confluence of 2020 pandemics and two years prior when she wrote the post. One key message that Diane points out:
“… Well, we’re not thankful for any of this.
Instead, we can be thankful through it…”
Diana goes on to share some commentary about what we can do in the midst of challenging times. Finding effective ways to strengthen our inner selves and share our outer selves is important.
Great is God’s faithfulness. Just typing the words brings back memories of the song and an inner stirring in hearing it sung in a slightly different way…
May we all find ways to be grateful for the day, filled with the Spirit!
P.S. Thanks to Forward Day By Day for their post HERE that helped prompt this posting
