Our God Is So Good Part Two
Another time that I saw God’s healing touch was when my children were young. At the time, we had three children aged seven and younger. I was woken out of sleep in the middle of the night by the sound of our youngest child coughing and gasping for breath. Her breathing was so tight and raspy that she was really struggling to breathe. My husband was in Canada on a fishing trip so it was just me and God. I was thinking that I needed to get all the children out of bed and get us to the emergency room. I cried out to God to help us, and immediately her breathing settled down and she was able to breathe again. No trip to the ER was needed! God doesn’t always answer my prayers in such a dramatic fashion, but He’s always there to calm my fears and help me to think things through rationally.
At our previous home, I had a bunch of poppies. Before we moved, I gave some of them to my friend, Rita, who had always wanted to grow them too. I was glad that my friend had some of those poppies. I thought that someday in the future I would get a start back from her. Rita had battled breast cancer for years and had been doing fairly well, but eventually the breast cancer returned and she passed away in August of 2016. Now, when I see this beautiful poppy painting that my niece made for our dining room, not only does it remind me to pray and to be thankful, but I am also reminded of my good friend, Rita.
I want to challenge you to start thinking and writing down the many things in your own life that you are thankful for. Start a gratitude journal and give thanks to God every day for His goodness! 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV) says, “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” We have a good, good Father who knows what’s best for us! He knows that a grateful heart is a happy heart!
