Ending the week in Gratitude

"It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
    to sing praises to your name, O Most High."

Psalm 92:1 

The ups and downs of this week can only be compared to a roller coaster ride that refused to end.

The roller coaster darted past the ticket taker again and again.  

The ride was not fun, but it was a ride.

Yet, St. Paul exhorts us:

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

1 Thessalonians 5:18

So, I give thanks because it is God's Will for me.

There were good things in the week.

I was able to find and take photos in

The Church of the Maternity of Mary!

It was a short but beautiful part of my day yesterday!

My heavy heart was consoled by 

Mama Mary.

"O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
    for his steadfast love endures forever."

1 Chronicles 16:34 

Can I say less?

Thank You, Lord, for Your steadfast love!
