In Times of Sickness am I Thankful?

If I were only to get better I would be so happy? Life would be so easy and fun and I would be so thankful…

I believe these sentiments are true and exciting but also not always true. I have pictured these very things with myself many times and yes, it is wonderfully awesome being healthy! I love living life at it fullest and I am so very thankful but does that mean I am unhappy when I’m battling health or the myriad of other life problems? Am I thankful at all when I’m sick and or struggling?

I guess it all comes down to being thankful for all that is around us, all that is good and knowing there is hope times during struggles. We all can look beyond our present circumstances and find hope, love and purpose in even the toughest life has to offer. Yes, this is not easy, this is a true exercise in who we are but it’s hopefully something we can work at.

We can be thankful for life, we can find hope in and during major battles. His name is JESUS, He is our only true hope in life. Let us not give in to our battles but turn to Him who offers true help & hope.
