Thankful

My brethen, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let the patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing. If you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:2-6
God never said, in His words that we would not have trials in our lives. But He did say, "I am with you even until the end of the earth." Knowing that God, is with us through it all, is enough to be grateful and thankful to the Creator of all things. I thank God for my trials, knowing that the trials in life makes me strong. I am also thankful for patience, God has allowed me to express with others and in many situations. It is by faith, I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength.
