There are days when I am at the point in my journaling and ask Jesus what he wants for me to know this day, He asks me the question, “Is it well with your soul?” I’m always a little taken back with the question for He already knows the answer, it is I who doesn’t know at the moment. Yet, He wants me to know. This morning I could honestly say that it is well with my soul. My soul is very grateful for the friends who arrived yesterday to stay with us for most of the week. They have been gone for 8 years and it is so nice to have them here for this little while.

Secondly, I am so grateful for Lois, my prayer warrior. I went to see her yesterday afternoon to update her on a couple of the ones coming for counsel. She diligently prays for them and these two have had recent breakthroughs I wanted her to know about. I also wanted her to know about the help I’d had last week with the two troubling events I had come to mind while taking this class on-line. I still revel in the miraculous way God showed Himself in it. Sharing this with Lois, I could still sense the awe of the moment. It also gave me the assurance that there is nothing God doesn’t care about in our lives. I can use this technique with others who need to find freedom from past trauma. His timing is always perfect in providing His help if I will “wait on the Lord”.

This is the season for Thanksgiving. I raise my arms reaching out to heaven in gratitude to our Wonderful Savior and Lord! “Give thanks with a grateful heart!”
