The Thanksgiving meal is over. My legs are propped up on the hearth. I have every intention of dozing off very soon. The turkey’s been attacked. The giblet gravy has been gobbled. The table is clear. The kids are napping. And the family’s content. Yesterday’s challenges in the trip getting here were lost in today’s joy.
That’s what Paul meant in 2nd Corinthians when he talked of our light and momentary troubles. God never said the journey would be easy, but He did say the arrival would be worthwhile. Remember this: God may not do what you want, but He will do what is right—and best. He is the Father of forward motion.
Trust Him. He will get you home. And the trials of the trip will be lost in the joys of the feast. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m a bit tired from the journey and it feels good to rest.
“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 Corinthians 4:17”

“Give thanks to the LORD because he is good. His love continues forever. Psalm 136:1″
