A Thanksgiving Amen
I have nothing to add. Well, perhaps just one word…
I sat tonight, prepared to write. Pages, I thought. Thanksgiving Day is upon us. The year has been brutal. And emotional. Sad — yet, filled with joy.
I had verses to quote.
Let the peace of Christ overwhelm all else in your heart…And, be thankful. (Colossians 3:15 ~ my paraphrase)
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. (Psalm 69:30 ~ KJV)
I have wisdom to share.
But, I can’t get past that voice I hear in my head. No, it’s not THE voices; it’s just a voice from the past.
You see, Mr. Kohler won’t let me write what I want to write tonight.
Many of my friends have already been posting the verses on social media. Some have even been sharing the wisdom in messages sent to my phone.
In the midst of this brutal, emotional, excruciatingly drawn-out year, they are grateful — giving thanks to a gracious God who has blessed us far beyond anything we deserve.
It’s all been said befo…What’s that?
Who’s Mr. Kohler?
I really don’t remember much about him. He’s been dead for nearly forty years by now. But, I can tell you the few things about him I do…
