FATHER HERE I AM AUGUST RUSH FULL

But how were we to know that when your dad died, that my own father would live just four more months, and that he would die this August? It was the prayers of so many, and especially my colleagues here at WORLD, my dear friends who helped me through. Same with Mary, though she lost her dad many years before. The comfort you received going through that difficulty, you were so kind to share with me. NICK EICHER: Myrna, I'm thinking of second Corinthians, the first chapter, the third and fourth verses: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” But, you know, God paved the way, and we got to spend nearly two years, sweet, sweet years, with my daddy before he passed. A move that had many people scratching their heads. You see, my husband Stanley and I relocated from Georgia to Alabama in 2021. I'm also thankful for our heavenly father who is all knowing and, oh, so gracious. I want you to know my family and I felt loved. MYRNA BROWN: That’s a good idea! Well, first, I'm thankful for your prayers and your kind words during my dad's brief illness and subsequent passing at the end of April. I recommend that you try it just like it says in the Psalms: Give thanks to the Lord for he is good. And over time this practice has changed my old hard wiring that seemed to just catastrophize the trivial and minimize the lavishness of my life. I mean, one of my entries was, “I got out of bed and took a good deep breath.” That's it. It doesn't have to be a mountain top experience kind of amazing thing. And then every night I write down three amazing things that happened that day and how I might have made it even better. Every morning, I write down in a journal what I'm grateful for and what would make today great. So this year I have made a real effort to remove my hand from my eyes. But man takes his little hand and covers his eyes and sees nothing.” That's attributed to the Jewish mystic, the Baal Shem Tov who lived in the 18th century.

MARY REICHARD: I’d be happy to do that! Here's a quote I read: “The world is full of wonders and miracles. Mary, let’s go around the table, so to speak, and hear what our radio colleagues are thankful for this year.
