Today is Tuesday of Thanksgiving week, and I want to praise God for His comfort. Due to the gathering rules or fear of traveling, many are going to be alone this Thanksgiving. You probably don’t want to read another post on being grateful. Maybe your heart is heavy with loneliness, or you are dreading the hours by yourself. My husband deployed for many holidays, so I understand the sadness. One holiday, I watched an entire Japanese movie with subtitles. That can fall into the “You know you are bored when” category.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light” Matthew 11:28-30.Please talk to God about your emotions. I did not say whine. Have an adult conversation and allow God to guide you through this long weekend. Don’t allow yourself to pray hollow or fake words of gratitude; that just must insult God to no end. Trust God with the burden of loneliness. I can praise God for His comfort because I have a first-hand understanding of Him changing a grumpy spirit into laughter. Not sure how He does it, but He does.
