 I read this in my E-mail and thought this is just a most awesome thought............. Thank God for the thorns as well as the roses.

Do we give thanks to God in all things?

 Do we only thank him when everything is good? 

 I know there has been times I wanted something so bad but later found out that it was best I didn't get my way.

  Have you ever had this happen to you?

In everything give thanks...I try to remember that when things get tough.  And I have had times when something I wanted very badly but could not have, would have been a great hinderance to me.  It pays to trust God even when the answer is no.

Yes lot's of times.  I've learned to trust His decisions.  It doesn't mean I don't question them.  I know to question some of His decisions.  Were supposed to sit with Him and reason with Him.  That's the way we learn.
