I must have listened to it 20 times throughout the day yesterday. I simply couldn't get it out of my mind. It was all-consuming. The song had these simple, but beautiful words:
"This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice. I will give thanks."
Little did I know that today -- this day -- those words would be tested on me.
I received a call that rocked my foundations tonight. My Mom is very sick. The diagnosis is not confirmed yet. But words like "large masses" and "pre-cancerous or cancerous" somehow don't give a sense that everything is going to be alright.
But if I am going to resolve that He is worthy of my praise on the good days, I have to be resolved to praise Him on the not so good days.
What a privilege to be in the hand of God when life's sands are shifting underneath my feet.
"This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice. I will give thanks."
Happy Thanksgiving,
Dori
