===Lesson===
 
When one is thankful for anything one’s soul takes on a particular attitude. This attitude aids in humility, meekness, and grace. Being filled with thanksgiving is also preparatory for being filled with praise for God. This then opens the soul to worship, the sublime experience of loving God and receiving his love at once.

Many times the things we perceive as disasters and the things we perceive as blessings over time are revealed to be just the opposite. The set backs of today are preparatory. They can allow some time for the soul to become more prepared, some time for wisdom to grow. Set backs and reversals should be the first things one gives thanks for, and yet this is just when it is hardest to muster. And yet, if you can marshal your strength of character to give thanks at the low points of your life, you will find the way out of those low points much easier to bear.

Ham: Yes, my son. Truly you are going through some periods of rapid growth which can be unsettling and make the simplest things seem difficult. You will find that growth tends to occur in spurts and then these gains are consolidated and there are periods of balance and relative calm. Growth will make you feel anxious and unbalanced. But, remember this is simply a passing phase. All in all, your growth has been very even for you are quite well grounded in your life and your work. Even rapid growth spurts don’t push you too off center. Remember though, that your partner is also going through periods of growth and this is a time when she requires all your empathy and support. Always remember how truly blessed your marriage is and give thanks for this blessing for it is truly a great source of happiness for you both.

Very well my children, you are all doing well. We are constantly amazed at the lengths to which you will go for the Master and his plan. Continue reaching for his hand and grasping it in times of well being as well as times of uncertainty. As always, my love and prayers go with you. Until next week, farewell.
