Today I am moving out of my nursing home, and back to my house, with a carer already in place. It’s three whole months since this journey began with my sudden admission to hospital.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18; NIV).
Can I say, “Yes”,
And offer thanks,
For good,
As well as bad?
Can I say, “Yes”,
And thank you, Lord,
For joy,
As well as pain?
Can I say, “Yes”,
And give you thanks
For bliss,
As well as grief –
Without the need
For shame, or guilt?
If so,
That’s a relief!
Our God has enlightened our eyes and has given us a little relief in our time of servitude (Ezra 9:8; NET).
