With his son taking his own life, Rick Warren describes this year as the worst of his life. “When your heart’s been ripped apart, you feel numb, not grateful,” he said. But the pastor of Saddleback Church has still found something to be thankful for: “although life is not always good, God is always good.”
Rick Warren, along with Michelle Obama, Gabrielle Giffords, and more told TIME what they were thankful for this Thanksgiving.
