FamilyLife Dennis Rainey and I\u2019m Bob Lepine.\u00a0 We will share a story or two with you today:\u00a0 Stories you can share with your children that may inspire a little gratitude from them.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWelcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> thanks for joining us.\u00a0 I\u2019m just wondering if we have any listeners who have said, if they\u2019re going to talk about gratitude again, I\u2019m changing to another radio station.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI don\u2019t want to hear them badgering at me about gratitude again!\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know sometimes it takes a story from the outside to kind of jar us back to reality that for many of us we really don\u2019t have problems.\u00a0 We have some gnats in our lives, but compared to what the rest of the world is facing today, and you know I\u2019m thinking of Hebrews chapter 11 which talks about a group of people who walked, and lived by faith.\u00a0 It says they lived in caves, they lived in animal skins, they were sawn in two, they were destitute, ill treated, afflicted for the Gospel, and yet they were great.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey leave for us an example, Bob, so that when were griping, and complaining because someone\u2019s five minutes late, or our spouse didn\u2019t do what he or she said they would do on time, or didn\u2019t do it according to what we expected.\u00a0 I think God uses stories like this to bring us back and think:\u00a0 You know what \u2013 you need to give thanks in all things.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Part of the reason we\u2019re talking about this subject of gratitude this week is because Thanksgiving\u2019s right around the corner, but part of the reason is because this is a subject that your wife feels strongly about.\u00a0 She\u2019s back with us again today \u2013 Barbara welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Thank you Bob.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>When we get to this subject of gratitude, I was thinking about how it is we cultivate this habit in the hearts of our children.\u00a0 But ultimately we want to go deeper than just their behavior.\u00a0 Gratitude either comes from the heart, or it\u2019s not there at all isn\u2019t it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, and that\u2019s what we want to do as parents.\u00a0 I think all of us want to raise children who are grateful, and who are thankful.\u00a0 I mean, we\u2019re not trying to raise kids that are gripy \u2013 nobody wants gripy kids!\u00a0 But, I think sometimes we underestimate the task of training them in gratitude.\u00a0 We think that a couple of simple instructions will do the trick, but teaching the child to be grateful is an ongoing process from the beginning to the end of your parenting years.\u00a0 I think we need sometimes as parents resources to help us continue to press on in that task of training our children to be grateful.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>There\u2019s a Gospel issue here:\u00a0 It is the predisposition of our own heart toward sin, and the need that we have for God to do a work in our hearts to make us grateful first for what He\u2019s done for us, and then for the blessings that we enjoy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s why children need parents!\u00a0 Barbara mentioned it \u2013 they need to be trained:\u00a0 They\u2019re not going to learn this attitude of gratitude on their own.\u00a0 Their hearts have to be trained repeatedly; how to give thanks to their Mom for doing the laundry, to say thanks Mom for the dinner, or as you mentioned on an earlier broadcast Bob how to say thanks to Dad for paying for going out to eat.\u00a0 I think teenagers need to learn how to be grateful for vehicles, for gasoline, for insurance, for tires, for all.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>They need to be grateful even that they can go to school!\u00a0 You know, kids gripe so much about \u2013 I\u2019ve got to go to school, and I don\u2019t like this teacher, and I don\u2019t like that class.\u00a0 But, there are children all over the world that don\u2019t even get to go to school.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>That\u2019s one of the reasons why we recommend that young people sometime between the age of 10 and 16 go on a short term mission project to get exposed to a third world culture.\u00a0 You don\u2019t even have to leave America to do that by the way!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Wait \u2013 you\u2019d send a 10 year old to a third world culture?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>It would depend on which one, but yes with a parent accompanying him I might.\u00a0 It would depend \u2013 you\u2019d have to check it out.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I took three of our children on an overseas trip, and it was a third world country \u2013 it\u2019s tough!\u00a0 Some of the things they were asked to eat were pretty interesting, but you know they got back to America, and I don\u2019t think they ever looked at in quite the same way.\u00a0 We\u2019re talking about here how to train your child to be grateful.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I think that this is especially important for American parents.\u00a0 Because, I think complaining, and griping is epidemic in America, and it\u2019s because we are a prosperous nation.\u00a0 I think our prosperity feeds our selfishness because we\u2019re so used to having thousands of choices in the grocery store, and hundreds of choices of things to eat.\u00a0 So, we\u2019re so used to being served, and having lots of options that we become critical instead of grateful.\u00a0 So, I think it\u2019s particularly important for American families to address the issue of gratitude even more than perhaps families in some other country.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s a big, big, issue in our families with our kids.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 The devotional book that you\u2019ve put together which is called <em>Growing Together in Gratitude <\/em>is designed for parents to really read stories about gratefulness to their children.\u00a0 Why did you use the story approach instead of taking kids through a Bible study on gratitude or another way you might have approached it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, the reason for stories is I think they\u2019re much more engaging for all ages.\u00a0 You know everybody can be standing around the island in the kitchen, or the counter, or the table making lunches, and somebody can be reading the story.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to sit down sort of in a churchy sort of way, and everybody\u2019s being quiet with their hands folded in their laps.\u00a0 I mean really who can do that with the pace that we live at in our country?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut, we can read a story that the kids can pay attention to while they\u2019re eating their breakfast or packing their lunch.\u00a0 They can pay attention to it better than they could a Bible study.\u00a0 A Bible study means that you need to often times sit down, and you have to have a pencil \u2013 it\u2019s just more task oriented.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe other idea for stories is that they have a much broader appeal in ages.\u00a0 You can read a story that a six or seven year old could pay attention to, but would also be interesting for the adults in the family.\u00a0 So, stories have a broader reach as far as making an impact on a person\u2019s life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>As you looked for stories for this book some of them were stories you\u2019d known for years.\u00a0 Others were stories you found as you were putting this devotional guide together.\u00a0 The story of Harriet Tubman \u2013 was that one that you knew about before you sat down to write the book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, it was.\u00a0 We read a number of different books about Harriet Tubman when my kids were young.\u00a0 Some of them in the years we did some home schooling, but they read about Harriet Tubman in school too so it was a story they were familiar with.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great story because she risked her life to rescue slaves during the Civil War era.\u00a0 The slaves were always grateful, and expressed gratitude to her and to God for their deliverance.\u00a0 It\u2019s just a great story of being thankful when God provides deliverance.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>The theme of that particular story is:\u00a0 Being thankful in deliverance.\u00a0 You cite Psalm 50 verse 15:\u00a0 \u201cCall on me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor me.\u201d\u00a0 Let me just read a part of this story for our listeners.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou write:\u00a0 It was dark, and it was time to move again.\u00a0 The woman leading the passengers encouraged them to move quietly and quickly even though they were exhausted, and hungry.\u00a0 After many hours of walking in the darkness Harriet Tubman tiptoed silently to the farmhouse door, and knocked.\u00a0 When the door cracked open the farmer asked in a frightened voice, \u201cWho is it?\u201d\u00a0 When Harriet gave them the password a friend with friends the man inside told them to go away.\u00a0 He hurriedly explained that slave catchers had searched the house the day before \u2013 he couldn\u2019t take the risk.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, stumbling back into the deep darkness of the woods the runaway slaves crawled under bushes, and piles of leaves to hide as dawn began to lighten the sky.\u00a0 As they fell asleep their deliverer was praying intently to her heavenly friend asking Him to lead them through the ever-present danger to safety.\u00a0 Harriet never slept, but kept watch through the day, and prayed without ceasing.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs night fell once again, the group prepared to move, they heard a voice of someone approaching.\u00a0 In fear everyone retreated back to their hiding places, but as the voice came nearer Harriet heard the words \u201cMy wagon stands in the barnyard across the way; the horse is in the stable; the harness hangs on a nail.\u201d\u00a0 The man never stopped but continued walking, and repeating these words until he was gone.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen the night sky was completely dark Harriet crept out of the woods, and found the barn.\u00a0 Waiting there were all the things the man had mentioned including blankets, and baskets of food.\u00a0 God provided for their needs, and for their deliverance.\u00a0 As the runaways were climbing into the wagon they proclaimed Praise God!\u00a0 Thank you Jesus, thank you!\u00a0 Thank you over, and over again.\u00a0 They knew without question that God is the one who saves, and delivers.\u00a0 Giving thanks was their natural response.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know as you listen to that story, and you think about times in your life when you\u2019ve been in a pickle, and you needed God to rescue you, and then He did, and how quickly, and how soon we can forget.\u00a0 It\u2019s just good to go back, and revisit a story from time to time of how God answers our prayers, and delivers us, and then to express gratitude.\u00a0 You know that passage Psalm 50 verse 15 is worth rereading again.\u00a0 It says, \u201cCall upon me in the day of trouble:\u00a0 I shall rescue you,\u201d and then there\u2019s the result:\u00a0 \u201cAnd you will honor me.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe were put here to honor God; that\u2019s what it means to glorify Him.\u00a0 We were to make Him known, and tell about what He\u2019s done on our behalf, and I think our children need to learn this lesson that many times we\u2019re walking by God\u2019s provisions, and we take them for granted, and we don\u2019t call to mind, and celebrate with other people, and say, \u201cCan I share with you what God did\u201d?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean back earlier this year I sent a message out on face book \u2013 posted it on my wall on face book \u2013 that Rebecca our daughter who had lost two children in less than a year was pregnant again, and that she was pregnant with twins.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, I have to tell you as I came to the studio today Bob \u2013 our neighbor\u2019s had not yet heard the story of Rebecca being pregnant, and I don\u2019t know if our neighbors know Jesus Christ or not \u2013 they don\u2019t go to church.\u00a0 They\u2019re good people but I stopped, and told them, and one of my neighbors said, \u201cWell, let\u2019s pray that she goes full term,\u201d and the other one just broke into this huge grin.\u00a0 That\u2019s fantastic news.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell you know in a way, it\u2019s God\u2019s deliverance for our daughter that she\u2019s pregnant with not one, but two, and we get to tell that story of God\u2019s deliverance to other people.\u00a0 He is a good God!\u00a0 He\u2019s a good God when children don\u2019t live, and He\u2019s a good God when He blesses the womb.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, even as you\u2019re recounting that, I was thinking about the fact that as soon as you tell the Harriet Tubman story on day six of your seven day devotional, you follow it up with the story of David Livingstone. And you ask the question:\u00a0 Well, what happens when you don\u2019t get rescued, and how do you give thanks in the midst of that?\u00a0 You\u2019ve been in some valleys as a family over the last couple of years where you\u2019ve had to by faith give thanks when the circumstances don\u2019t look like things you\u2019d want to be grateful for.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, and that\u2019s the balance in learning to give thanks in all things, because it isn\u2019t just giving thanks when things are good.\u00a0 Yes, the slaves that Harriet rescued were grateful because she was good to them, and God was good to them, and He delivered them.\u00a0 But, there are lots of times in life when you don\u2019t see deliverance like you would like to see, or when things don\u2019t go the way you would like for them to go.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, as believers God calls us to give thanks in all things.\u00a0 So, I tried to have a real balance of stories to show all sides of it because we are supposed to give thanks in all things \u2013 the good, and the bad when God delivers, and when God doesn\u2019t deliver.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>What takes more faith?\u00a0 Does it take more faith to give thanks after God rescues, and He delivers you?\u00a0 Or does it take more faith to give thanks when you haven\u2019t seen the answer to your prayer?\u00a0 Because, the scriptures command us to give thanks in all things!\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t say give thanks when your prayers are answered:\u00a0 When you see the response of God to what you\u2019re facing.\u00a0 I think the story you tell about David Livingstone is a great story that our listeners ought to hear.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>David Livingstone was a missionary to Africa, and he was working with some of the tribal members that he had gotten to know, and he was trying to share Christ with them.\u00a0 One day a message came to him that this particular tribe \u2013 there was a pride of lions that was acting very strangely, and they were coming way too close to the village, and the lions were attacking the cattle in broad daylight.\u00a0 They were just doing things that the tribal members thought were very unusual.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, they called them devil lions!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>They did.\u00a0 Isn\u2019t that interesting?\u00a0 So they called David Livingstone to come help.\u00a0 They sent a runner who came, and got him, and he and one of his partners came back to the tribe with their guns.\u00a0 You know this is the kind of situation where we would expect God to really show up in great power, and stop the lion, or do something really dramatic so that these villagers would say, \u201cWow, there is a God.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut, that\u2019s not what happened \u2013 he picked up his gun to shoot one of these lions who was about to attack, and he shot him but he didn\u2019t shoot him fatally.\u00a0 Instead he just made the lion angry, and the lion came after him, and the lion chomped down on David Livingstone\u2019s shoulder, and shook him around with his mouth.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>He crushed some of his bones.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, and threw him to the ground.\u00a0 Then his partner who\u2019d come with him tried to shoot him, and he missed, and so the lion attacked his partner \u2013 got him by the leg.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I have to read what you wrote down in here!\u00a0 It said it shook the missionary like a rag doll \u2013 Livingstone later recalled thinking what part of me will he eat first?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s not a good place to be in!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>No that\u2019s not the kind of picture we would envision for this!\u00a0 You know here\u2019s a missionary out doing something for God \u2013 surely God would rescue him, and stop the lion but He didn\u2019t, and eventually between the two of them they were able to kill the lion.\u00a0 But, he required medical attention, and he had to be hauled off, and leave his mission station, and his work.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut, what was interesting about his response was that he wrote a letter to his father back in Scotland, and told him about the attack of the lions, and in his letter he gave thanks to God for protecting him, and that he didn\u2019t die.\u00a0 So, sometimes God doesn\u2019t deliver like we would like for Him to, and yet scripture commands us to give thanks in all things.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>You know I\u2019ve lived now six decades.\u00a0 I was so na\u00efve as a new follower of Jesus Christ, and Bob, I know you think the same way.\u00a0 When we start our journey we have all these preconceptions of what God\u2019s going to do.\u00a0 It\u2019s almost like because we\u2019re good for God or we\u2019ve done something good for God therefore He\u2019s going to always do things good for us.\u00a0 That isn\u2019t so!\u00a0 It\u2019s not that God\u2019s trying to punish us.\u00a0 It\u2019s not that God is trying to be cruel to us but He is up to something so much bigger than me, and my little ego, and what I\u2019m up to.\u00a0 Sometimes I think like a grape:\u00a0 He has to crush us in order to produce the wine!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>We may never know what He\u2019s up to\u00a0 - not just in our lives but in His plan.\u00a0 I think of Ron Dunn the pastor who was once approached by a new Christian who said, \u201cPastor Dunn I\u2019m so glad I\u2019m a Christian now \u2013 I know this will be the end of my troubles.\u201d\u00a0 Pastor Dunn said, \u201cYes, it\u2019s going to be the front end.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was sitting down last night with a group of guys, and one of the guys just said, \u201cYou know I want to thank the Lord.\u201d\u00a0 He said, \u201cMy wife, and I were driving down this past weekend to my hunting club\u201d \u2013 he said, \u201cOn the back trailer I had the four wheeler,\u201d and he said, \u201cAs I\u2019m driving 65 miles an hour down the highway all of a sudden it\u2019s like I can\u2019t control the car, and I don\u2019t know what\u2019s happened.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe said, \u201cWell, what I found out later was that one of the tires on the trailer holding that four wheeler had blown out, and it started to fishtail, and it was taking the car with it because it was a pretty heavy trailer, and the guy driving behind me started to slow down because he didn\u2019t know if I was going to spin out of control or what.\u00a0 The eighteen wheeler that was next to me slowed down because it looked like I was about to take somebody else out.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe said, \u201cMy wife was in the seat, and I was telling her hang on!\u201d\u00a0 She said to me later, \u201cYou didn\u2019t have to tell me to hang on I knew to do that.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe said, \u201cBut you know we were fine, we got the tire replaced \u2013 it all worked out.\u201d\u00a0 A skeptic would look at that and say, \u201cWell, God could have prevented that blow out in the first place.\u201d\u00a0 So giving thanks for God that you were safe in the midst of a calamity \u2013 why didn\u2019t you just ask God well, why did you cause the tire to blow out in the first place?\u00a0 The answer is, and I remember somebody saying this:\u00a0 I\u2019m not going to ask why of God on some of these things until I can ask Him face to face.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe don\u2019t need to know \u2013 we don\u2019t know what God\u2019s purpose and God\u2019s plan in some of these things are.\u00a0 The question is will we in the midst of them say you\u2019re a good God, and whatever you do is good, and I\u2019ll be grateful \u2013 I\u2019m going to have a heart of gratitude for your goodness.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>The reality is:\u00a0 Bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people!\u00a0 I don\u2019t know why God does what He does, but the older I get the more I\u2019m convinced He is there, He is in charge.\u00a0 He is working it out.\u00a0 It may not make sense to me, but in the midst of it I know this from the Bible \u2013 it\u2019s real clear \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe commands us:\u00a0 Give thanks in all things for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.\u00a0 So, you may not be able to sort it all out, but when you\u2019re in the mouth of a lion, and you\u2019re wondering what part of you is going to get eaten first I think you have to cry out to God and say, \u201cGod deliver me.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut, you know what if You don\u2019t I will be found being grateful to you with my last breath.\u00a0 Bob, I\u2019ve said many times, and Barbara and I have laughed about this, and in fact you and I have even chatted about it:\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to die a gripy, complaining, cantankerous old man.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t want to be\u2026 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Crotchety!\u00a0 That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Crotchety is the word I was trying to pull out.\u00a0 Crotchety \u2013 there\u2019s a lot of crotchety, elderly people.\u00a0 We don\u2019t need anymore of them.\u00a0 We need some people who\u2019ve got a purpose!\u00a0 Right now I have a picture of a woman who is approaching 90 \u2013 or did she just celebrate her 90<sup>th<\/sup> birthday?\u00a0 Kitty Longstreth \u2013 this woman is a prayer warrior \u2013 she\u2019s 90, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen her when she didn\u2019t have a smile on her face.\u00a0 She is not a bitter old lady; she\u2019s a woman who prays, who is expectant of God to be at work in her life, and if I\u2019m going to live to be 90, that\u2019s the way I want to go out.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, and to get there you have to have a heart of gratitude.\u00a0 You have to have a heart of gratefulness for the goodness of God even when the tent starts to flap.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0

stories.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>You don\u2019t have to sit down sort of in a churchy sort of way, and everybody\u2019s being quiet with their hands folded in their laps.\u00a0 I mean really who can do that with the pace that we live at?\u00a0 But, we can read a story that kids can pay attention to while they\u2019re eating their breakfast or packing their lunch.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 This is <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> for Thursday, November 5.\u00a0 Our host is the President of FamilyLife Dennis Rainey and I\u2019m Bob Lepine.\u00a0 We will share a story or two with you today:\u00a0 Stories you can share with your children that may inspire a little gratitude from them.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWelcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> thanks for joining us.\u00a0 I\u2019m just wondering if we have any listeners who have said, if they\u2019re going to talk about gratitude again, I\u2019m changing to another radio station.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI don\u2019t want to hear them badgering at me about gratitude again!\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know sometimes it takes a story from the outside to kind of jar us back to reality that for many of us we really don\u2019t have problems.\u00a0 We have some gnats in our lives, but compared to what the rest of the world is facing today, and you know I\u2019m thinking of Hebrews chapter 11 which talks about a group of people who walked, and lived by faith.\u00a0 It says they lived in caves, they lived in animal skins, they were sawn in two, they were destitute, ill treated, afflicted for the Gospel, and yet they were great.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey leave for us an example, Bob, so that when were griping, and complaining because someone\u2019s five minutes late, or our spouse didn\u2019t do what he or she said they would do on time, or didn\u2019t do it according to what we expected.\u00a0 I think God uses stories like this to bring us back and think:\u00a0 You know what \u2013 you need to give thanks in all things.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Part of the reason we\u2019re talking about this subject of gratitude this week is because Thanksgiving\u2019s right around the corner, but part of the reason is because this is a subject that your wife feels strongly about.\u00a0 She\u2019s back with us again today \u2013 Barbara welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Thank you Bob.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>When we get to this subject of gratitude, I was thinking about how it is we cultivate this habit in the hearts of our children.\u00a0 But ultimately we want to go deeper than just their behavior.\u00a0 Gratitude either comes from the heart, or it\u2019s not there at all isn\u2019t it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, and that\u2019s what we want to do as parents.\u00a0 I think all of us want to raise children who are grateful, and who are thankful.\u00a0 I mean, we\u2019re not trying to raise kids that are gripy \u2013 nobody wants gripy kids!\u00a0 But, I think sometimes we underestimate the task of training them in gratitude.\u00a0 We think that a couple of simple instructions will do the trick, but teaching the child to be grateful is an ongoing process from the beginning to the end of your parenting years.\u00a0 I think we need sometimes as parents resources to help us continue to press on in that task of training our children to be grateful.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>There\u2019s a Gospel issue here:\u00a0 It is the predisposition of our own heart toward sin, and the need that we have for God to do a work in our hearts to make us grateful first for what He\u2019s done for us, and then for the blessings that we enjoy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s why children need parents!\u00a0 Barbara mentioned it \u2013 they need to be trained:\u00a0 They\u2019re not going to learn this attitude of gratitude on their own.\u00a0 Their hearts have to be trained repeatedly; how to give thanks to their Mom for doing the laundry, to say thanks Mom for the dinner, or as you mentioned on an earlier broadcast Bob how to say thanks to Dad for paying for going out to eat.\u00a0 I think teenagers need to learn how to be grateful for vehicles, for gasoline, for insurance, for tires, for all.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>They need to be grateful even that they can go to school!\u00a0 You know, kids gripe so much about \u2013 I\u2019ve got to go to school, and I don\u2019t like this teacher, and I don\u2019t like that class.\u00a0 But, there are children all over the world that don\u2019t even get to go to school.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>That\u2019s one of the reasons why we recommend that young people sometime between the age of 10 and 16 go on a short term mission project to get exposed to a third world culture.\u00a0 You don\u2019t even have to leave America to do that by the way!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Wait \u2013 you\u2019d send a 10 year old to a third world culture?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>It would depend on which one, but yes with a parent accompanying him I might.\u00a0 It would depend \u2013 you\u2019d have to check it out.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I took three of our children on an overseas trip, and it was a third world country \u2013 it\u2019s tough!\u00a0 Some of the things they were asked to eat were pretty interesting, but you know they got back to America, and I don\u2019t think they ever looked at in quite the same way.\u00a0 We\u2019re talking about here how to train your child to be grateful.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I think that this is especially important for American parents.\u00a0 Because, I think complaining, and griping is epidemic in America, and it\u2019s because we are a prosperous nation.\u00a0 I think our prosperity feeds our selfishness because we\u2019re so used to having thousands of choices in the grocery store, and hundreds of choices of things to eat.\u00a0 So, we\u2019re so used to being served, and having lots of options that we become critical instead of grateful.\u00a0 So, I think it\u2019s particularly important for American families to address the issue of gratitude even more than perhaps families in some other country.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s a big, big, issue in our families with our kids.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 The devotional book that you\u2019ve put together which is called <em>Growing Together in Gratitude <\/em>is designed for parents to really read stories about gratefulness to their children.\u00a0 Why did you use the story approach instead of taking kids through a Bible study on gratitude or another way you might have approached it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, the reason for stories is I think they\u2019re much more engaging for all ages.\u00a0 You know everybody can be standing around the island in the kitchen, or the counter, or the table making lunches, and somebody can be reading the story.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to sit down sort of in a churchy sort of way, and everybody\u2019s being quiet with their hands folded in their laps.\u00a0 I mean really who can do that with the pace that we live at in our country?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut, we can read a story that the kids can pay attention to while they\u2019re eating their breakfast or packing their lunch.\u00a0 They can pay attention to it better than they could a Bible study.\u00a0 A Bible study means that you need to often times sit down, and you have to have a pencil \u2013 it\u2019s just more task oriented.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe other idea for stories is that they have a much broader appeal in ages.\u00a0 You can read a story that a six or seven year old could pay attention to, but would also be interesting for the adults in the family.\u00a0 So, stories have a broader reach as far as making an impact on a person\u2019s life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>As you looked for stories for this book some of them were stories you\u2019d known for years.\u00a0 Others were stories you found as you were putting this devotional guide together.\u00a0 The story of Harriet Tubman \u2013 was that one that you knew about before you sat down to write the book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, it was.\u00a0 We read a number of different books about Harriet Tubman when my kids were young.\u00a0 Some of them in the years we did some home schooling, but they read about Harriet Tubman in school too so it was a story they were familiar with.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great story because she risked her life to rescue slaves during the Civil War era.\u00a0 The slaves were always grateful, and expressed gratitude to her and to God for their deliverance.\u00a0 It\u2019s just a great story of being thankful when God provides deliverance.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>The theme of that particular story is:\u00a0 Being thankful in deliverance.\u00a0 You cite Psalm 50 verse 15:\u00a0 \u201cCall on me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor me.\u201d\u00a0 Let me just read a part of this story for our listeners.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou write:\u00a0 It was dark, and it was time to move again.\u00a0 The woman leading the passengers encouraged them to move quietly and quickly even though they were exhausted, and hungry.\u00a0 After many hours of walking in the darkness Harriet Tubman tiptoed silently to the farmhouse door, and knocked.\u00a0 When the door cracked open the farmer asked in a frightened voice, \u201cWho is it?\u201d\u00a0 When Harriet gave them the password a friend with friends the man inside told them to go away.\u00a0 He hurriedly explained that slave catchers had searched the house the day before \u2013 he couldn\u2019t take the risk.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, stumbling back into the deep darkness of the woods the runaway slaves crawled under bushes, and piles of leaves to hide as dawn began to lighten the sky.\u00a0 As they fell asleep their deliverer was praying intently to her heavenly friend asking Him to lead them through the ever-present danger to safety.\u00a0 Harriet never slept, but kept watch through the day, and prayed without ceasing.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs night fell once again, the group prepared to move, they heard a voice of someone approaching.\u00a0 In fear everyone retreated back to their hiding places, but as the voice came nearer Harriet heard the words \u201cMy wagon stands in the barnyard across the way; the horse is in the stable; the harness hangs on a nail.\u201d\u00a0 The man never stopped but continued walking, and repeating these words until he was gone.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen the night sky was completely dark Harriet crept out of the woods, and found the barn.\u00a0 Waiting there were all the things the man had mentioned including blankets, and baskets of food.\u00a0 God provided for their needs, and for their deliverance.\u00a0 As the runaways were climbing into the wagon they proclaimed Praise God!\u00a0 Thank you Jesus, thank you!\u00a0 Thank you over, and over again.\u00a0 They knew without question that God is the one who saves, and delivers.\u00a0 Giving thanks was their natural response.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know as you listen to that story, and you think about times in your life when you\u2019ve been in a pickle, and you needed God to rescue you, and then He did, and how quickly, and how soon we can forget.\u00a0 It\u2019s just good to go back, and revisit a story from time to time of how God answers our prayers, and delivers us, and then to express gratitude.\u00a0 You know that passage Psalm 50 verse 15 is worth rereading again.\u00a0 It says, \u201cCall upon me in the day of trouble:\u00a0 I shall rescue you,\u201d and then there\u2019s the result:\u00a0 \u201cAnd you will honor me.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe were put here to honor God; that\u2019s what it means to glorify Him.\u00a0 We were to make Him known, and tell about what He\u2019s done on our behalf, and I think our children need to learn this lesson that many times we\u2019re walking by God\u2019s provisions, and we take them for granted, and we don\u2019t call to mind, and celebrate with other people, and say, \u201cCan I share with you what God did\u201d?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean back earlier this year I sent a message out on face book \u2013 posted it on my wall on face book \u2013 that Rebecca our daughter who had lost two children in less than a year was pregnant again, and that she was pregnant with twins.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, I have to tell you as I came to the studio today Bob \u2013 our neighbor\u2019s had not yet heard the story of Rebecca being pregnant, and I don\u2019t know if our neighbors know Jesus Christ or not \u2013 they don\u2019t go to church.\u00a0 They\u2019re good people but I stopped, and told them, and one of my neighbors said, \u201cWell, let\u2019s pray that she goes full term,\u201d and the other one just broke into this huge grin.\u00a0 That\u2019s fantastic news.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell you know in a way, it\u2019s God\u2019s deliverance for our daughter that she\u2019s pregnant with not one, but two, and we get to tell that story of God\u2019s deliverance to other people.\u00a0 He is a good God!\u00a0 He\u2019s a good God when children don\u2019t live, and He\u2019s a good God when He blesses the womb.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, even as you\u2019re recounting that, I was thinking about the fact that as soon as you tell the Harriet Tubman story on day six of your seven day devotional, you follow it up with the story of David Livingstone. And you ask the question:\u00a0 Well, what happens when you don\u2019t get rescued, and how do you give thanks in the midst of that?\u00a0 You\u2019ve been in some valleys as a family over the last couple of years where you\u2019ve had to by faith give thanks when the circumstances don\u2019t look like things you\u2019d want to be grateful for.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, and that\u2019s the balance in learning to give thanks in all things, because it isn\u2019t just giving thanks when things are good.\u00a0 Yes, the slaves that Harriet rescued were grateful because she was good to them, and God was good to them, and He delivered them.\u00a0 But, there are lots of times in life when you don\u2019t see deliverance like you would like to see, or when things don\u2019t go the way you would like for them to go.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, as believers God calls us to give thanks in all things.\u00a0 So, I tried to have a real balance of stories to show all sides of it because we are supposed to give thanks in all things \u2013 the good, and the bad when God delivers, and when God doesn\u2019t deliver.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>What takes more faith?\u00a0 Does it take more faith to give thanks after God rescues, and He delivers you?\u00a0 Or does it take more faith to give thanks when you haven\u2019t seen the answer to your prayer?\u00a0 Because, the scriptures command us to give thanks in all things!\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t say give thanks when your prayers are answered:\u00a0 When you see the response of God to what you\u2019re facing.\u00a0 I think the story you tell about David Livingstone is a great story that our listeners ought to hear.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>David Livingstone was a missionary to Africa, and he was working with some of the tribal members that he had gotten to know, and he was trying to share Christ with them.\u00a0 One day a message came to him that this particular tribe \u2013 there was a pride of lions that was acting very strangely, and they were coming way too close to the village, and the lions were attacking the cattle in broad daylight.\u00a0 They were just doing things that the tribal members thought were very unusual.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, they called them devil lions!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>They did.\u00a0 Isn\u2019t that interesting?\u00a0 So they called David Livingstone to come help.\u00a0 They sent a runner who came, and got him, and he and one of his partners came back to the tribe with their guns.\u00a0 You know this is the kind of situation where we would expect God to really show up in great power, and stop the lion, or do something really dramatic so that these villagers would say, \u201cWow, there is a God.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut, that\u2019s not what happened \u2013 he picked up his gun to shoot one of these lions who was about to attack, and he shot him but he didn\u2019t shoot him fatally.\u00a0 Instead he just made the lion angry, and the lion came after him, and the lion chomped down on David Livingstone\u2019s shoulder, and shook him around with his mouth.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>He crushed some of his bones.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, and threw him to the ground.\u00a0 Then his partner who\u2019d come with him tried to shoot him, and he missed, and so the lion attacked his partner \u2013 got him by the leg.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>I have to read what you wrote down in here!\u00a0 It said it shook the missionary like a rag doll \u2013 Livingstone later recalled thinking what part of me will he eat first?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s not a good place to be in!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>No that\u2019s not the kind of picture we would envision for this!\u00a0 You know here\u2019s a missionary out doing something for God \u2013 surely God would rescue him, and stop the lion but He didn\u2019t, and eventually between the two of them they were able to kill the lion.\u00a0 But, he required medical attention, and he had to be hauled off, and leave his mission station, and his work.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut, what was interesting about his response was that he wrote a letter to his father back in Scotland, and told him about the attack of the lions, and in his letter he gave thanks to God for protecting him, and that he didn\u2019t die.\u00a0 So, sometimes God doesn\u2019t deliver like we would like for Him to, and yet scripture commands us to give thanks in all things.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>You know I\u2019ve lived now six decades.\u00a0 I was so na\u00efve as a new follower of Jesus Christ, and Bob, I know you think the same way.\u00a0 When we start our journey we have all these preconceptions of what God\u2019s going to do.\u00a0 It\u2019s almost like because we\u2019re good for God or we\u2019ve done something good for God therefore He\u2019s going to always do things good for us.\u00a0 That isn\u2019t so!\u00a0 It\u2019s not that God\u2019s trying to punish us.\u00a0 It\u2019s not that God is trying to be cruel to us but He is up to something so much bigger than me, and my little ego, and what I\u2019m up to.\u00a0 Sometimes I think like a grape:\u00a0 He has to crush us in order to produce the wine!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>We may never know what He\u2019s up to\u00a0 - not just in our lives but in His plan.\u00a0 I think of Ron Dunn the pastor who was once approached by a new Christian who said, \u201cPastor Dunn I\u2019m so glad I\u2019m a Christian now \u2013 I know this will be the end of my troubles.\u201d\u00a0 Pastor Dunn said, \u201cYes, it\u2019s going to be the front end.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was sitting down last night with a group of guys, and one of the guys just said, \u201cYou know I want to thank the Lord.\u201d\u00a0 He said, \u201cMy wife, and I were driving down this past weekend to my hunting club\u201d \u2013 he said, \u201cOn the back trailer I had the four wheeler,\u201d and he said, \u201cAs I\u2019m driving 65 miles an hour down the highway all of a sudden it\u2019s like I can\u2019t control the car, and I don\u2019t know what\u2019s happened.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe said, \u201cWell, what I found out later was that one of the tires on the trailer holding that four wheeler had blown out, and it started to fishtail, and it was taking the car with it because it was a pretty heavy trailer, and the guy driving behind me started to slow down because he didn\u2019t know if I was going to spin out of control or what.\u00a0 The eighteen wheeler that was next to me slowed down because it looked like I was about to take somebody else out.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe said, \u201cMy wife was in the seat, and I was telling her hang on!\u201d\u00a0 She said to me later, \u201cYou didn\u2019t have to tell me to hang on I knew to do that.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe said, \u201cBut you know we were fine, we got the tire replaced \u2013 it all worked out.\u201d\u00a0 A skeptic would look at that and say, \u201cWell, God could have prevented that blow out in the first place.\u201d\u00a0 So giving thanks for God that you were safe in the midst of a calamity \u2013 why didn\u2019t you just ask God well, why did you cause the tire to blow out in the first place?\u00a0 The answer is, and I remember somebody saying this:\u00a0 I\u2019m not going to ask why of God on some of these things until I can ask Him face to face.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe don\u2019t need to know \u2013 we don\u2019t know what God\u2019s purpose and God\u2019s plan in some of these things are.\u00a0 The question is will we in the midst of them say you\u2019re a good God, and whatever you do is good, and I\u2019ll be grateful \u2013 I\u2019m going to have a heart of gratitude for your goodness.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>The reality is:\u00a0 Bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people!\u00a0 I don\u2019t know why God does what He does, but the older I get the more I\u2019m convinced He is there, He is in charge.\u00a0 He is working it out.\u00a0 It may not make sense to me, but in the midst of it I know this from the Bible \u2013 it\u2019s real clear \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe commands us:\u00a0 Give thanks in all things for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.\u00a0 So, you may not be able to sort it all out, but when you\u2019re in the mouth of a lion, and you\u2019re wondering what part of you is going to get eaten first I think you have to cry out to God and say, \u201cGod deliver me.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut, you know what if You don\u2019t I will be found being grateful to you with my last breath.\u00a0 Bob, I\u2019ve said many times, and Barbara and I have laughed about this, and in fact you and I have even chatted about it:\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to die a gripy, complaining, cantankerous old man.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t want to be\u2026 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Crotchety!\u00a0 That\u2019s

celebrate her 90<sup>th<\/sup> birthday?\u00a0 Kitty Longstreth \u2013 this woman is a prayer warrior \u2013 she\u2019s 90, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen her when she didn\u2019t have a smile on her face.\u00a0 She is not a bitter old lady; she\u2019s a woman who prays, who is expectant of God to be at work in her life, and if I\u2019m going to live to be 90, that\u2019s the way I want to go out.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Well, and to get there you have to have a heart of gratitude.\u00a0 You have to have a heart of
