Meditation:

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18   Lord, my heart is full of gratitude today. I am grateful for my family . . .for my friends . . .for my job . . . for my life . . . even for its tensions, as well as its peace . . . even for its suffering, as well as its joy.

Thank You for loving the world so much that You gave Your Son to suffer, to die, and to overcome suffering and death.

God, thank You for redeeming ALL of life, the good AND the bad, and for giving meaning to ALL of life.

Through Jesus Christ, my Lord.

Amen.
