Grateful

Chronicles 29:13 (NIV)
Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.

Are we as grateful as we should be? Are do we take alot of things for granted? Do we go about our day complaining about this or that? Never satisfied. Do we look at others and wish we had their lives? Not knowing the problems that they really have. What if God came in and took it all? Would you cry and wish you had it all back? Maybe then, you'll realize what you had.

There are people crying and even dying because of lack of food,clothes,water, and shelter. But, yet they are grateful for what they do have. Selfish! God is saying. We take our love ones for granted. Even the shoes on our feet. We try to keep up with everyone else. Not understanding how blessed we are. Look around at what you have. Really look! Ask yourself can you survive without it. Are would you be a mess. We should always be grateful for what we have. Always giving thanks in all things. We look around at fancy cars and homes and say wow they are blessed. But, if you stop and pay attention, you will notice how bless you are. Being blessed is not just money because without your mind, health, and love ones you have nothing.

Prayer: Lord help me to always remand humble. Forgive me for the times that I took anything for granted. I am blessed for the things that I have. There are many unfortunate people in this world, that would appreciate the things that I've been blessed with. Thank you Lord for your many blessing.  Amen.
