THANK GOD, THANK GOD, THANK GOD.

This morning as I was spending some time with God

a Scripture came to my mind:

"The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;

Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me."

(Psalms 16:6 NASB)

I was reflecting back over eighty five years of life.

Plane and simple, God has been good to me.

Yes, I have had heart ache.  Lots of it, both as a young

man and as a mature adult.  And many of you know

that often heart ache can be worse than physical pain.

But God has been good to me.

I have several times in my life had constant physical

pain.  Times that I was in pain day and night.

But God has been good to me.

I have spent a lot more time in hospitals than I want

to remember.

But God has been good to me.

I have spend days not knowing whether I was going

to live or die.

But God has been good to me.

For over sixty of those years I have been [In my own

poor little way.]  living and walking with Jesus Christ.

Yet, despite the trials and hardships of life I have to

declare that through it all;

GOD HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME.

With the Psalmist I can say:

"You will make known to me the path of life;

In Your presence is fullness of joy;

In Your right hand there are pleasures forever."  

(Psalms 16:11 NASB)
