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!
