Thanks to God in Anticipation of the Day Dedicated to that Purpose

There are lots of things for me to be grateul for.  I'm taken care of, I'm free of major worries about my family and my own wellbeing, as well as having writing projects I enjoy enormously, and much more.  

But I have to say that the way things have been going politically I'm seeing the destruction of America looming, and while I know that God's judgments are for the good in the end as is everything else He does, it's nevertheless sad that it's come to this.    How it affects me personally is not my concern, I'll probably do fine as far as that goes, but the loss of America is enormously sad.   And the corruption that has been growing adds to my melancholy.

All of which this year makes it my most fervent gratitude that this world is not my true home and that eventually I'll live in a perfect world where truth and honesty and true love of God and neighbor reign.  I'm SO grateful I have that to look forward to, and above all that I've had the highest privilege a human being can have, of believing in God and the truth of His Word and salvation through Christ Jesus.
