Gratefulness leading to lasting Joy

 Hey friends! I know this is a crazy stressful time during finals. I found this video a while ago and found it to be super encouraging. Whatever religion or practices you choose to do, I think that gratefulness in the midst of suffering or hardship changes our actions in crazy ways. I have been influenced by teachings of Paul, who went through immense suffering. He was beat close to death a multitude of times, shipwrecked, his friends turned against him, he lost friends, and suffered from a chronic pain. In the midst of this he says that he is grateful for all things that are given to him. For in times of suffering those are times to grow and learn. You guys are awesome! I hope this video is encouraging and a new perspective in crazy stressful times!
