Being grateful is hard. It needs to be a heart-attitude as much as a head one, and my heart is stubborn. I leave for Watford six weeks tomorrow (which is a slight blow - I thought/hoped it was five), and I am stuck focussing on what I do not have. How my relationship with God has become hard, how my friends are scattered across the country (the world, in fact) or gathered in Coventry, how emotionally demanding it is to just be living with my family... Things may be hard at the moment, but that does not change or reduce the greatness and goodness of God. It is not that I thank Him for the bad times, but I can still praise Him in them.
I pray that this will be my song:
Audra Lynn - Yet Will I Sing
