Acts 16:22-34, Ps 138, John 16:5-11

Thank you with all my heart

A solo parent faced a financial crisis. Raise $600 in a month or forfeit her home. By chance, she was invited to hang a few pieces of craft at a local cafe. On the due date, she had sold exactly $600 worth of goods. The debt was settled. There are no words to describe her gratitude, her amazement at the generosity of God, except, “I thank you, Lord, with all my heart.”

It has to be nurtured, this sense of thankfulness, of amazement at the beneficence of divine love.

May it grow in me.
