thankful thursday #185

Sometimes hidden in happy and fun, there are some hard conversations. Sadness. Bad, earth-shaking news.

And those hidden things can peek out and interrupt that happy and fun at the most inopportune times, can't they?

During our happy and fun company retreat this week, one of ours got some news that rocked her world. Some were around to hold her up when her body collapsed; others were around to listen and cry; a few sat and prayed with her; a couple tucked her into bed so she could rest.

The happy and fun was tainted, and for that one, it was a time she will always remember with a little pang in her heart.

Even when questions swirled, and hearts were broken, and answers eluded us, we could be grateful for supportive work family, and for a divine sovereignty we will never understand.

What tough moments have challenged your heart of thankfulness? Go on, be grateful!
