Right now, I am personally going through a storm in life. In fact there is more than one item on that list. It’s really like a category 3 or 4 hurricane. Some of it has been going on for a while now. Some of it is newer. Some of it is just revealed. As we all enter the Thanksgiving holiday, I ask myself, Can I be thankful in the storm?
I am certainly not thankful for the storm. The storm sucks to be honest. But yet, I am, in a way, thankful for the storm. The storm itself has brought me enlightenment. Light is now shining where there was once darkness and movement where there was stagnation. For that I am thankful. But the storm itself still sucks.
I am also thankful for all that is around me, my family and friends, people to serve, and a God who uplifts me. So, yes, I can be thankful in the storm.
Happy Thanksgiving!
