And when in love and wisdom
[God] withholds my heart’s request
His “no” means “something better”.
He will give me what is best.

For the Christian, thanksgiving is not just a day but a way of life.
We cannot always control our circumstances, but we can control the way we respond to them. Respond with thanksgiving.
