Gratitude in Difficult Circumstances
StoryTestimony★★★★Corrie ten Boom and her sister were imprisoned in a concentration camp during World War II. The camp was infested with fleas, making it dirty and unpleasant. They read 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 which says to be thankful in all circumstances. Corrie’s sister encouraged her to thank God for the fleas despite the discomfort. Later they found out that because of the fleas, guards avoided entering their area, granting them more freedom than other prisoners.
