Dear God:Today, I am thankful for my own troubles.
Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three - all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have. ~Edward Everett Hale
Two sad things happened today - a neighbor lost his job and a friend lost his father to colon cancer just two weeks after the initial diagnosis. I find myself in a familiar spot: upon learning of others' terrible misfortunes, I am truly thankful for my own challenges, disappointments, frustrations and uncertainties.
Tonight, I'm praying for extra helpings of faith and extra touches of grace in all of our lives - just in case.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
