Thanks: The Basics of Gratitude, pt. 2 - Thanks for Nothing

Learning to be grateful when things don’t go our way.

• Few things make those without faith more angry than seeing those with faith remain faithful in the midst of trials. 
• Choosing gratitude over grumbling is a matter of perspective. 
• Pure gratitude doesn’t just say “thank you for the strength during my trial”, but “thank you for the strength from my trial.”
• It allows us to look for the lesson rather than just desiring for the pain to lessen. 
• Good doesn’t exist outside of the blessing of God.
