Giving thanks for lessons learned – again.

That voting does matter.  I must again and again, every time, be faithful in this sacred trust.

That I must resist, this time, a life long flaw: when I perceive the crisis has passed, I let the healing discipline slide.  That will not do this time; the mission has only begun. This time fervent, diligent, Biblical disciplines must flow on and on.

16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. source James 5 (NKJV)

We saw Him deliver on this promise, why would we allow ourselves to let up now? Even media commentators called it a miracle. America needs many more miracles. Let us pray them into being.

And let us give thanks that we can give thanks.

32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. source Ephesians  4 (NKJV)
