Last year I started recording what I’m thankful for…and I just stopped for no particular reason. I think it’s time, long past time, to get back to this worthy pursuit.
16. I am thankful that no matter what is going on in the world, everything is firmly under the Lord’s control. He’s never taken by surprise and He is always there and ready to hear my prayer, praises, thanksgiving and cries. He is able to give me wisdom that I need. God is working out His good and perfect plan, in my life, in the life of my loved ones and this world…even when I don’t understand it.

Amen! I find much comfort in knowing that nothing happens apart from God allowing it.
Yes He is and even though I don't understand, His promises are still true…what a loving Father we have…and even more so through the struggles of this earth. Won't heaven be great?
