One Thousand Gifts (Continued)

"He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven" (Psalm 107:29-30).

 I read these verses this morning in my e-mail from Compassion Canada. They brought such a calming spirit over me. After this very busy season of family gatherings, a wedding, hosting parties, birthday parties, etc. etc. and feeling a bit low, overwhelmed, and rather grumpy, I could feel God's presence as I read these words. I am truly grateful for His presence, His Word, and His promises that He stills the storms and hushes the waves.

 Continuing to give thanks...
