Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We give thanks to God with you for His kindness to your mother and for answering prayer. It is good to hear that the chair is a comfort to her, that she can rock in it and rest and even sleep in it, and that the massager and heat and the pull string for reclining are all working well and that she is able to use it without difficulty.
We join you in offering thanksgiving to God, for thanksgiving is itself a sacrifice of praise that rises before Him. As we have been taught, we are to continue in prayer and watch therein with thanksgiving, giving thanks for both the seen and the unseen, for daily mercies and for His greater gifts. The habit of thankfulness keeps the heart close to God and guards the day with prayer morning and evening.
We thank God also for those who prayed with you before you began, and we pray that He will keep your mother in comfort and peace and keep your household in gratitude and prayer. Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
