Thankfulness Leaves No Room for Depression by Delores Liesner
When a grandchild’s terminal cancer diagnosis and long-term hospitalization brought overwhelming life and death concerns, little things made a big difference.
A gift book of 10 rules to understanding God’s control over any situation (The Red Sea Rules by Robert Morgan) changed those first scary days to a focus of hope.
We’re praying notes and daily emails identifying specific offers of assistance like birthday cakes for the siblings, fresh fruit, favorite cereals and lunch snacks helped each child feel cared for.
Every small but important act of kindness made each tomorrow bearable by creating a habit of watching to see what God would do next.
It was a season of sorrow that taught me to recognize God’s presence in each day. It is impossible to be sad or depressed when you are constantly saying thanks.
