It’s very easy to complain about something that you are going through, but when you see someone else going through something worse, it is a point to which you can really thank God. My thanks to God is not based upon good times, but rather the faithfulness

For every bad thing that happens there is always something good that
comes out of it. The good that came out of this was I lost 11 pounds 
during that week. I'm not recommending this as a form of diet, but I 
did lose that weight and I guess I'm thankful for that. 

However, for every good thing that happens there is always some bad
element to it. The good was I lost 11 pounds. The bad was, my trousers 
now won't stay up. I must be careful as I walk around because I might 
lose those trousers. (A full moon tonight.) 

I was feeling really sorry for myself. My right arm is only about 75%
active right now. That is a real bummer to be sure. I managed to go to 
Wendy's and as I was in the drive-through lane waiting for my turn to 
order I saw a man come out of the restaurant and he did not have a 
right arm. 

When I saw that I became thankful for the pain I had because at least my
arm was intact and one day this pain will go away. 

The apostle Paul understood this when he wrote, “Giving thanks always
for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus 
Christ” (Ephesians 5:20). 

It's very easy to complain about something that you are going through,
but when you see someone else going through something worse, it is a 
point to which you can really thank God. My thanks to God is not based 
upon good times, but rather the faithfulness of God to get me through 
bad times.
