Exercising Gratitude

Ecclesiastes 7:18 (NASB 95)
It is good that you grasp one thing and also not let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with both of them.
A very long time ago, I had a dilemma. I thought I had to do one thing or the other. I was asking God, and taking counsel with friends, what I should do. And one of the friends, Lew, quoted this verse to me. I ended up successfully holding on to both things until it came time to let go of one of them.

I am grateful for that man of God, and for the many men and women of God that I have known.
