Simply being thankful

Tomorrow is D-Day, so to speak. We are praying that this trial is over tomorrow. I have such a peace right now. I know that whatever happens tomorrow I am loved by the Almighty God. He holds my right hand. I have much to be thankful for. I have seen God's hand throughout this entire endeavor, no matter how absurd it has seemed. (And, yes, it has seemed quite absurd at times). I have been given His peace that passes understanding. That sounds so...churchy...but truly, there is no other description. I am thankful for the body of believers that has surrounded us and has lifted us up and has believed in us. I am thankful that the same body of believers will continue to lift us up tomorrow and through whatever may follow. I am thankful that I have been brought this far. That I can look back and say that yes, my faith has been tested. Yes, bad things have happened. Yes, bad things may still happen. BUT, my God is faithful. He has brought us through each trial. He has brought us closer to him. He has brought us closer to each other. Oh, that I were as faithful to him as he is to me. What a wonder that would be. Thankful for forgiveness. For the perfect, sinless man who died on a tree so that I may live. Thank you Jesus.
