"Write a short message of thanks for some of the negative things in your life" this is the gratitude challenge today.
So, that said I am grateful I have migraines once in awhile. Sound crazy? Maybe so, but, the day after having one I am so grateful to be out of misery and pain and I am always overwhelmed with gratitude for my return to good health. Last week I had the worst one and I couldn't get out of bed and couldn't keep anything down until 7p.m. at night but, I saw the hand of the Lord because who shows up at my door in the middle of the day? The missionaries and they promptly offered to give me a blessing. I knew it was an answer to prayers!
I'm not quite ready to say I am grateful to having fertility issues but, I am ready to say, I am grateful for what I have learned from having them. I have learned a lot about not judging anyone's life and situation, you never know how you would deal with anyone else's trial so, don't judge! I have learned not only does Father in Heaven have a plan for each of us but, a timing to that plan. I have learned my greatest joy has been someone else's greatest sorrow and with that we can love each other anyway. I have learned so much more but, I didn't want to bore anyone with it all! I know even hard things we go through can be a chance for us to stretch ourselves and be grateful to a loving Father in Heaven who helps us become greater than we can imagine if we but, trust in Him.
