In all things...give thanks.

Sometimes, it's just hard.

I don't always feel it.  I want to.  I know His promises are true.  There are days, however...

I want to thank Him and be grateful for everything.  How do I do that when I'm not?  I'm not thankful when I am struggling.  It hurts sometimes, and it's difficult for me to just accept it for what it is.

Then...

I draw strength from others, and from what I know to be true about God.  Last week I made a thankful tree.  I found the idea on www.aholyexperience.com.  It has helped me pause and reflect for a moment on what matters most - God.  There I can find the strength to remember something that I can be thankful for, no matter what else is going on.




Glory be to God, He is my strength and my song.  He can bring me out of whatever funk I find myself in, and for that I am thankful!



Holding on, for that moment my sadness passes and I am refreshed and renewed. 

I know it will come, sooner rather than later.  Thank you, Jesus!
