I agree, Job's story is a good lesson for us.  As I understand it, from a song I learned in Sunday school, "God gives to me, and takes away. Blessed be the name of God this day." 
I have thought about how easy it is to praise God when all my needs are being met.  I would like to be someone who is able to praise God in earnest even when I am not in such fine fettle, as when I am in the first condition it is easy.
I think Jesus said something along these lines, but I can't remember that story at the moment.
