Offerings of Thanks

For those receiving the post in a reader or via email, you will need to visit the site to view properly due to the animation.

Over the last two weeks, as your stories have slipped into my soul through your notes, I have found myself brought low with humility and tears at how readily you have extolled the Lord and His work in your lives through even the most devastating life circumstances. Likewise, I have soared with hope and gratitude because of the inspiration you have blessed me with through them.

I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.  –Psalm 34:1-3 NIV

How you have lived out this verse in rich fullness through sharing these stories!
Thank you.  My prayer, as you read, is that you find yourself praising God, exalting and glorifying Him for the redemption of hardship and suffering.  You join the chorus by simply reading along – whether you contributed or not – and God will be blessed.  Feel free to use the comments section to add your voice in praise, as well.

With thanksgiving… for each of you,
—Kirsten
