KRISTINA
Good Morning, my name is Kristina Crabtree, minister of spiritual formation at Central United Methodist Church.
What are we thankful for? Family, friends, jobs, vacations…We can say that we are thankful for a lot of things, but are we thankful in the difficult times. I was encouraged the other day by a story of a man whose daughter had just passed away two week prior to his speaking engagement. He did not cancel his speaking engagement but before he left he had a friend call him up in the weeks after his daughter’s death and asked him a simple question, have you thanked God yet? That might sound like a bazar question to ask when someone is grieving but just as Paul’s writing teach us, we are to be thankful even in the midst of hard times. It does not make the situation ok yet thanking God allows us to know that God’s goodness outweighs any hardship we encounter. So, have you thanked God yet? Thank Him today!
