Thankful for What?

by Deborah Ann Belka
https://poetrybydeborahann.wordpress.com

It's easy to be thankful,
when things are going well
when we are trouble-free
no fears on which to dwell.

But, when burdens become,
crushing and all-consuming
it's hard to show gratitude
when stress is ever-looming.

It's difficult to say thank you,
in the middle of our strife
it's not easy to be grateful
for the trials in this life.

How can we be thankful,
in every single thing
rejoicing in the hardships
that living often brings?

It takes a heart of faith,
an unwavering trust
it take a soul that knows
being prayerful is a must!

"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks: for this is
the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you."
- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
King James Version
