Cartoon of  boy and dad next to broken window. Boy says, “We should give thanks that my baseball is okay.”

I based this cartoon on 1 Thessalonians 5:18

in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
(1 Thessalonians 5:18, New King James Version)

It can be tough to find the silver lining in a situation, can’t it? The car breaks down, you find yourself facing an urgent home repair, or you get some news that tears your soul.

It can be tough to be thankful in every situation. Yet, it helps to know it is God’s will for us to be just that. When we face trials tribulations and just plain stinky days, we can know that God is in control and He will take care of us. In the end, He will make it all work out.
