Ingrates Are Never Anonymous!

Vertical And Ventilating
Was Conversing With
Horizontal And Belly-Aching
Who Always, Always, Always
Has A Reason To Explain Away
His Perpetual Vegetating!

Vertical And Ventilating
Loves, Loves, Loves
To Give Thanks And Praise
To His Maker, His God
And
Absolutely Refuses To Act The Ingrate
Like The Adversary Of Souls ... Satan
The Known God-Fraud!

Verti Has Much For Which To Be Thankful!

Apparently, Fluffy-Belly Does Not!

Imagine This ...

The Family Of Man ... Created By Almighty God
Lives On Earth ... Created And Maintained By Almighty God
Enjoys The Lord's Bounty ... Created And Provided By Almighty God
And Yet
Most Of Its Members Are 
Card-Carrying
Practicing, Unapologetic, Ingrates!

Lord,
Please Spare Us The Ingrate's Fate!



Let's Hear Truth ... For Today!




Thanksgiving 
Is 
Very Thin On The Ground 
Where We, Humans, Are Concerned! 

We Ask For
And
We Receive Our Petitions Of The Lord
And 
In A Revolting Display Of Ingratitude
We Dine And Dash
We Grab 'N Go
And
We "Forget" That 
We Are Surely Going To Need His Help Again! 

We Behave Like We Are Doing The Lord A Favor 
By Accepting His Gifts Of Love 
When, In Fact, He Owes Us Nothing! 
We Owe Him Everything!

And Then ...

There's That Phrase:

"... And Call Upon Me In The Day Of Trouble...!"

How Do You Feel Calling Upon The Holy God
Whom You Have Roundly Disrespected
Ignored 
Taken For Granted
Gainsaid
Doubted
Denigrated
When You Are In Sure-To-Come Trouble!?!

Do You Experience Any Pangs Of Remorse 
For Your Oversight
For Your Past Lack Of Thankfulness
For All The Good And Perfect Gifts
That The Loving God Holy Has Lovingly Given Unto Us!?!

Brethren, Beloved,

Gratitude, Thankfulness, And Appreciation 
Are Graces To Be Cultivated Carefully 
And 
Offered Up Joyfully 
No Matter Where We Are 
Or Who Is Watching! 

We Have A Debt
Which We Can Never Repay
But
We Surely Can Show True Appreciation
Express Heartfelt Gratitude
And
Give Joyful Thanks Now 
And 
Always
In All Ways!


Give Almighty God His Praise!
