Are you thankful for the thorns?

Be thankful for the thorns. Without the thorns of life we can never fully give thanks for the good times of our life's.

Have you had thorns in your life? Been let down, suffered a major loss, coped with depression. Give thanks for the thorns, they teach us lessons that can not be taught any other way.

They give us strength to carry on. They let us know the joys of the good times and help us to give thanks for these joys.

T-Teaches forgiveness.
H-Gives you hope.
O-only you know your thorns.
R-Remember your blessings.
N-No one is immune to thorns.
S-Sadness only lasts for a season.

Last but not least the purpose of thorns is to help us learn empathy and love, thereby helping others through their thorns of life.

How has your thorns helped you and others along the way?
