He wasn't what sent me running. He was what had made me want to stay.

I can sum it up like this: Thank God for the game of golf.

Thank God for the day. Thank God for the morning. Won't take this here for granted; no, good Lord, I gots to get on it.

A spirit of thankfulness is one of the most distinctive marks of a Christian whose heart is attuned to the Lord. Thank God in the midst of trials and every persecution.

Even when life may be difficult, we should thank God for all He does for us-which we do not deserve.
