Date: 2005-12-13 11:18 am (UTC)I just recently heard a sermon where the pastor said that we don't have to be thankful that bad stuff happened to us--we can be honest with God--but we should be thankful that through it all, our Dad is still with us and He loves us and He's going to make something beautiful come out of us and the whole situation if we let Him. That just felt so much more real to me than the way my own father would shout "Hallelujah!" when he would accidentally hurt himself while working in the basement or something. That just felt like forced, fake praise--like the word was just a Christianized version of a secular expletive.
So to see you thankful...that's beautiful. :)
