It’s Day 27 of the Giving Thanks Challenge hosted by Leah at South Breeze Farm.
I am thankful for answered prayer — even when answer has been “No.” I am so thankful God hasn’t given me things that I thought at the time I wanted or needed, and that He gives grace when He allows trials.
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. II Corinthians 12:8-10.
Stray Thoughts 
I think I answered this on Facebook! Before I met Amoeba I put three years of energy and prayer into a gentleman I was sorta kinda but not really dating …. and when that relationship finally went bust I thought my heart was broken forever — but God knew he had somebody better for me waiting a couple of years in the future — and he was worth waiting for.
Your godly attitude and perspective inspires me.
