Today, both of my legs hurt because of gout. Walking isn’t easy, and every step reminds me that I’m not as strong as I’d like to be.
But even in the pain, I have reasons to be grateful.
I’m grateful that I’m alive.I’m grateful for my family.I’m grateful for another day to pray, love, serve, and trust God.I’m grateful that pain is part of my story, but it is not the end of my story.
Sometimes gratitude isn’t thanking God for the pain—it’s thanking Him through the pain.
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)
If you’re hurting today—physically, emotionally, or spiritually—don’t let your pain steal your praise. There is still something to be thankful for.
