Be thankful for everything in your life. Whether that is food on the table, a place to sleep, a friend, the smile of a total stranger, or another day to be alive - be thankful. Our lives are so very short and if we spend it complaining or wishing we had more, we will waste away the years we could have spent in joy. Find joy in your trials, they are making you stronger. Find courage and confidence in fact that your life is more difficult than others, you are touch enough to get through this. Find strength in looking at your own life and the many trials you have overcome.
If you believe in God, or want to believe in something greater, then keep reading. No matter who you are or where you are, what you have or what you don't have, you are not alone! There is a God who loves you very much, who trusts you enough to endure the pains of life, who has given you the strength to carry on each day. I don't know why good things happen to bad people, this will never be understood. What I do know is that there is a God who loved you enough to make himself human and die for you. Jesus, God's son, died to forgive YOU of all the things you have done wrong. He thought of YOU in his last breath. YOU are loved by God. I have found in my times of weakness and difficulty that when I asked God to help get me through or give me strength, I found strength. I asked God to help me be thankful for my trials because I know they are making me stronger. Be thankful, because no matter how little you have, you have an opportunity to be loved unconditionally and forgiven in spite of everything you have done wrong.
