Description
It's one thing to praise God when you've got a good job, your marriage is strong, your kids are doing well, your career is on track, and your health is good. But giving thanks becomes a completely different challenge when your boss says, "We don't need you any more," you run out of money, your marriage ends in divorce, your children struggle, and the doctor says you've got cancer.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately because it seems like more friends have been hit in more ways than any year I can remember.
How do you give thanks when your circumstances stink? The quick answer is, you don't deny your circumstances or pretend that things aren't difficult, but you find reasons to give thanks that go beyond what you can see around you. In the hard moments of life we must return to the God whose love for us does not change.
