From Trouble to Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Have you ever felt like you were going to drown? It’s hard to give thanks when you are drowning. Picture it! You are alone, miles from shore, yelling “thanks” in between the bobs and gulps for air. Probably not! Expressions of gratitude are usually not the words coming out of a drowning person’s lips. Words of thanksgiving come AFTER somebody who is drowning is rescued. This Sunday we are going to look at Psalm 69 and find help! Some of us may feel like we are drowning with the waves of life overwhelming us. However, I want to remind you that Jesus can turn your trouble into thanksgiving.
