I was thinking about how we say, “God is good” whenever good comes our way. I was reflecting on scripture that tells us to be thankful for everything including our trials. I thought about it some more and started saying ‘thank you” for my troubles/trials. Misbehaving children…bad attitudes…my inability to control everything J…. I asked myself if I was really thankful for those things. Not really, but I do want to be obedient to my Savior. I realized I was thinking about how God says He uses everything for good in our lives (to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose). I was being thankful for what God was going to do, the good He is going to bring about from this situation or event, not what was happening right now. I have a ways to go in being thankful for the not-so-good things. I am able to be thankful for what God will do with it, and what He will bring about as a result of it. Interesting perspective.
