The Way of Gratitude: God's Blessings in Disguise

Can we step forward in a time of pain or discomfort?  Is it possible to hear God at times when we find it hard to hear our own hearts and even our faith?  Maybe we are listening to our anger and finding it too hard to acknowledge God's love.  There is a spiritual gift in every difficulty we experience.  Adversity is our opportunity to walk closer to God.  Gratitude teaches us the true meaning of surrender so we may see the beautiful gifts that follow.  By using our life's situation as a springboard to a deeper spirutual journey, we can find the deeper blesings in our lives.
