When we look around this world today, we find it most difficult to believe that we 
could be thankful for anything,
Sure there are days when we get that must needed loan, a job promotion, 
or a new family member.
Those are days of Joy that we can say "Thanks"...Lord for your Blessings.
But what happens when we lose a loved one, or a prized 
possession, or our health,
How can we be thankful then ?
Consider the Family that has lost their home and everything they owned, in a fire, or tornado,
You may just hear them say "Thank God, we didn't lose our life "..
Sometimes it's hard to pray, especially when we are hurting, 
confused, busy or just feeling
uninspired. There are times we cry out in pain, or at a loss to 
really see the whole picture.
We may feel like isolating ourselves from God.
No one said that it will be easy. When bad things happen,
look around and take in all
the wonders of Gods' love around us. The miracle of creation, 
the natural wonders of the world,
the sound of birds singing their songs.
If we look hard enough within ourselves, we will find many 
things to be thankful for.
Be Thankful for problems, they teach us Humbleness,
the harder the trials...
The Greater the Glory...
