Fibromyalgia Flair up brings Thankfulness

It seems that my fibromyalgia is flairing up again. It has been going on about two weeks and everyday feels a little worse. Laying in bed last night I was trying to fall asleep and in my heart was determined to not be frustrated by the pain. I thought I am thankful for the pain in my legs because I still have them and the ability to go where I need to go, I am thankful for the pain in my back because I am able to feel and have control over my body, I am thankful for the pain in my feet because I have feeling and mobility I am still able to serve God and others and tell of His great love for them. I am thankful that although there is pain in my hands I am able to show love through service. I am thankful that despite my headaches I am clearheaded enough to remember the GREAT PRICE CHRIST PAID FOR ME and the priceless gift of salvation. I am thankful that He enables me to be thankful.

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
