I suddenly lost my filter bar (the one normally located above the filmstrip). Because it is missing, my thumbnails in the filmstrip are very large filling the space where the filter bar used to be. I've read the resolution is to click on the work filter along the bottom in the library mode, grid view however, the word filter does not show up as I believe it is underneath the thumbnails. I'm hoping someone here has had the same experience and can help me out. Thank you!
Press the letter T to toggle the toolbar on/off.

In addition-
You may be able to hold down CTRL/CMD key, hover cursor over thumbnails, and use the mouse scroll wheel to resize thumbnails.
If the thumbnail slider is not on the Tool bar (T) then click the drop-down menu and check it 'on'.
Also the size slider can disappear from view if the Lightroom workspace is reduced in size- expand the workspace to full screen and make the side panels narrower.

Some troubleshooting steps:
1. What happens when you do the menu command View > Show Filter Bar?
2. Is there a checkmark next to Show Filter Bar?
3. Do Help > System Info and report the exact version number of LR and Windows/Mac.
4. Post a full-resolution screenshot of your LR window. That often gives good clues as to what's going on.

For the Filter Bar, show/hide, hit the \ key.

If you read the initial question I think you will realize it was a reference to the toolbar rather than the filter bar. Just a mixup in terminology.

The \ key for me turns on or off the lens correction.

That's because you are in the Develop Module. To use the Filter Bar you have to be in the Library module.

Well Yes and No. The discussion topic header says Filter Bar but in the text of the actual question the OP is asking about the Tool Bar.

A couple of others have experienced similar symptoms:
Lightroom six filmstrip size stuck
Lightroom filmstrip images are too big

Resetting the preferences was the only thing that worked after working on this all day. I owe someone a cup of coffee . . . or much more. Thanks so very much.
