Being thankful on Thanksgiving should be a no-brainer, right? It's eeeeeassssyyyyy to be thankful on Thanksgiving. What is wrong with you (or ME) if we're not? I AM thankful for I have been blessed with a lot. A lot of great people, all my physical needs, job, car, food, family, friends, new church, health, and lots more.
But what about pain? Can I really choose to be thankful for that today? God tells me in His Word that I should be. We are called to be thankful in ALL circumstances, always giving praise and thanks to our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ. Lord, I am thankful but most days I sure wish you would take away my pain. That may or may not happen on this side of heaven but I know He endured more emotional, spiritual, and physical pain that I will more than likely never experience. So when my heart is breaking, I am choosing to remember how God's heart broke a million times over for my sin.
