The Vow of Thanksgiving

Mentioned in Jonah, chapter 2, the prophet was finally expelled from the belly of the fish WHEN he remembered to be grateful.,

Many years ago, I was in what I considered despair.  In the middle of the night, with a bad headache, and what I thought were consequential challenges (?!?), I recollect reaching out to the Lord.  My eye focused on a finger, which occurred to be healthy, attached to a healthy arm, and the rest of my body.  I began thanking the Lord for my wonderful wife laying next to me etc.  It precipitated a sequence of things to be grateful for.  BAM.  The despair was GONE!

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, thank you for Your goodness to us.  Forgive us for our ingratitude and self-pity.

DAILY READING:  Micah 1-5
