I Choose to Give Thanks Because of Who He Is
I choose to give thanks today because God is holy and gracious, unveiling hope amid our unworthiness. The psalmist in Psalm 40 shows how God lifts the downtrodden, puts feet on solid ground, and puts a new song in the mouth of the grateful. In our small town's losses, faith remains the anchor, urging us to bring pain to God for healing and perspective, while acknowledging the milestone of women's suffrage from 1893 to 1920.
