Does God Listen When You Whine?

“I miss my mommy!” She snuggled up to me to me on a bench at the pre-K playground.

“I put my arm around her as I empathized with her, “I understand you miss your mommy.”

“My Grandma came for lunch today,” she shared.

“Good, I’m glad you got to have lunch with your grandma.” I had an assignment as a substitute teacher at pre-K for the day. They invited the parents or grandparents to come have lunch with the children.

“I want to go home now. I miss my mommy.” She shared in a plaintive voice as she leaned her head against my shoulder.

Gratitude Does Not Deny Pain

Gratitude does not deny pain and suffering.
Gratitude enables you to bear it.
Gratitude gives you the power to overcome.

In everything give thanks. . .

He who offers thank offerings honors Me and
prepares the way for Me so that I may
show him the salvation of God. Psalm 50:23
