A Reason To Give Thanks
Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Nov 24, 2024 (message contributor)
Do you remember Erma Bombeck, the homemaker who spun humorous anecdotes about suburban family life into a column syndicated to about 700 newspapers, television commentary, speeches across the country and books with titles such as “The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank,” “Just Wait Till You Have Children of Your Own,” “I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression,” “If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits?”
In an interview in Redbook Magazine, October, 1992 Erma Bombeck said, “An estimated 1.5 million people are living today after bouts with breast cancer. Every time I forget to feel grateful to be among them, I hear the voice of an eight-year-old named Christina, who had cancer of the nervous system. When asked what she wanted for her birthday, she thought long and hard and finally said, 'I don’t know. I have two sticker books and a Cabbage Patch doll. I have everything!'”
Let me put this a different way. If you can say, “I have put my faith in Jesus. I have turned from sin to Him and have been baptized into Christ. I have His promise of a home in heaven when I die”... If you can say that, then you can also say, “Because I have Jesus, I have everything!”
