This one is hard. It's hard to be thankful for something that we want to wallow in. It's hard to count it as a blessing. One thing I've learned in my walk with Christ is that He is always teaching me something. Always... The best lessons I've learned have come through the toughest situations in life, but with the great trials come great rewards. God has blessed me far beyond what I could have ever imagined. My life is so different today than how I imagined it 5 years ago, shoot - even 2 years ago when I was preparing to marry my groom. I love it, though! God knows what we want, He knows better than we do! For that I am grateful. So, today... I am grateful for my current trials.

1 Peter 1:6-7
New Living Translation (NLT)
So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
