I am thankful for ... the pain. Yeah, that was hard to say, Ill admit that. But when I ponder where I might be today had I not suffered this chronic pain for the last 17 years, I shudder. Considering that life is a series of metaphorical dominoes ... Would I have taken life for granted? Would I have been cynical towards those who suffer, had I not suffered so greatly myself? Would I have been less introspective and only feigned godly wisdom, had I not been forced to slow down and question my life? Would there be those right now, who would not have come to some realization concerning faith in God, had they not bore witness to my pain and perseverance? Would my message be trivial and my thoughts shallow? What cost would be too great to risk going back and crying do over? Would someone I love never step foot into the presence of their maker with assurance in their heart, had I not had cause to slow down and have compassion for their pain? Is one domino to high a price just so I could have lived more comfortable? In everything give thanks ...
