One of the commands given us in the bible is to give thanks in every situation. Some situations are very easy to see the blessing and goodness in. However, there is a lot things that happen to us where that offering of thanks is very difficult.
There is a praise song written by Matt Redman that picks up a theme from the book of Job.
Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Today, it is our joy to give thanks for the work and ministry of Connie, for the new life and commitment in the Confirmation candidates and for the wedding couples. But let us also find ways to keep thankful when our cups are less full yet not wholly empty!
