Thankful

We don't have to be thankful for everything that happens, but we can be thankful in it. A lesson that I contantly need to be reminded of. I've found myself complaining and looking on the negitive side of life way too much when I have way too much to be thankful for. Sure, there are always things in life that get you down, but you can always be thankful in all things.

Thankful in all things? Why? I'll tell you why! Because God is good, God is in control, and God loves and cares for us. Even in strife... especially in strife! And He will carry you through if you let him. Even when life seems terrible, God is there, and He is in control. AND GOD IS GOOD! Just ask Job, he'll tell ya! Even if all is stripped away, you can still have a relationship with the creator of the universe and that is more than one could ever ask. I am thankful for that today.
