Thanks

Why post an article about a coffee house and pick up truck accident on an Emerging Kids blog?

-some people at Artisan read this and have been building relationships there and I know they care
-sometimes life gets so predictable that we forget that we may not have tomorrow and this is personal. It could have been last Wednesday night when we and a lot of other people were sitting there
-just this week I've been close to at least three situations where people were faced with potentially life-threatening crisis and by the grace of God escaped tramatized but not physically harmed.
-Sometimes God moves in mysterious ways even when you talk about kids and coffee shops and I needed to publicly heap thanks and praise on the Living God. How's that!

Selah

Praise and thanks to the Most High God, is appropriate here. [ Praise and thanks to the Most High God, lest we forget You. ] Sometimes we forget to say thank you for the things we take for granted. Hey, if God is willing to interrupt our lives so we remember not to take Him for granted we can interrupt our lives to say thank you at opportune and inopportune times even when we're legitimately hard pressed to find something to be thankful for. When my kids were little we used to call them thank you prayers. Once you start identifying the things you have to be thankful for, it's hard to stop. That's not just an interruption, that's a LONG "interruption." [smile] One of the nicer interruptions to handle.
