It's not always easy to be thankful. In fact there are times that we just don't want to give thanks for what we are going through. Please click the link below and listen to some practical tips for being thankful no matter what you experience.
Pastor Jason, Thanks again for your page. It is uplifting. I'm gonna get my husband to check it out. He never gets to hear you because our kids don't let him go! He is such a great man and I am so blessed. I just wanted to thank you for always asking me how things are going and really meaning it! I am having trouble with my staff at work. They don't get along and it is making it difficult for me to take care of my patients. But I believe that God is carrying me through this. When administration at the Clinic puts another obstacle in my way, He shows me that my toil is not in vain. If I open my eyes and breathe in the Holy Spirit, He is always there to remind me to be thankful, just like you showed us in Thessalonians. He is so good to me and I don't know why. Sometimes I get so worried that calamity may strike, but I pray that I could be like Job if I needed to be. Our middle son has autism and the youngest has a severe balance disorder, but I am so lucky to have been able to give birth to them at my age! They are not perfect, but neither am I and God is displaying HIs wondrous glory through them everyday. If I were to lose them and my husband which is my greatest fear, I know that my Redeemer lives. I will never be alone!
You are welcome, and thank you for the encouraging words. I appreciate you sharing about what is going on at work and with your family. I will be praying for both. Please know that we are here to help any way that we can.
I admire your attitude. A lot of people would not be as positive about the challenges you are facing. I pray that God will continue to strengthen you through this and that you will feel His presence and be encouraged by that.
