How can one be grateful when they have lost a loved one, a child? How can one be grateful as they receive a terminal diagnosis or someone close to them does? How can one be grateful as they are being evicted from their home or don’t have money to feed their children? And the list could go on.
For me a tangible, ongoing relationship with God strengthens my faith as I know this human experience is a part of something bigger, and while I am in this human experience, I will make the most of it, help others, leave a legacy; and one day the questions above will be answered.
