I read a sweet story this morning about a child whose pet had died. No matter how his parents had hoped to shield him from that eventuality, they could not. Together, they prayed, the parents hoping it would help with their little one's sorrow, pain and anger. The child, continuing to hold onto his parents' hands after the Amens had been said, told his parents, "I said 'Thank you to God, for Nibbles.'"
And, so it is that we can begin to heal and be whole when we focus on the blessings that live on. As painful and lonely as that is, time after time. Nonetheless, giving thanks is a practise of great value, for where would we be without the blessings richly heaped upon us?
