Doing Thanks

It's not until you've had the rug ripped out from underneath you,
It's not until your heart has been torn into a million pieces,
It's not until you're not sure you want to go on,
It's not until you understand the hurting souls with the sad eyes,
That your very own gratitude to Jesus for the gift of His life means you're going to make it.
This is what "doing thanks" looks like.

Sometimes it's the only thing you can give back to Him.

Living a life of gratitude, despite the pain and circumstance.
...the only thing that brings joy into the dark places.
