Be Grateful Aka Thankful!








Gratitude Aka Thankfulness 
Is 
A Grace ... A Gift Given! 

Are You Grateful For What You Have 
Or Are You Looking At The "Good Stuff" 
The Expensive Toys 
Which Are In The Possession Of Other People 
And
Are Making Yourself Miserable About Your Own Life 
Because 
You Refuse To See The Obvious!?!

You Are Greatly Beloved
And
Truly Blessed!

Beloved, 

The Blind One Envies The One Who Wears Glasses! 

The Man Who Wears Cheap Shoes 
Envies The Man Who Wears Expensive Shoes 
But 
Surprise, Surprise, No Shock
They Are Both Envied By The Man Who Has No Feet
The Man Who Has Legs But Can't Walk
And 
The Man Who Has No Legs At All! 

We Need To Be Truly Grateful 
For Almighty God's Many Gifts Of Unmerited Favor 
And
Stop Being Lip Servants
Saying That You're Blessed
While Envy Is Consuming Your Heart! 

We Have Food In Abundance 
Which Gives Us Choices As To What We May Eat 
When And Where! 

We Have Clothing In Abundance 
To The Point That We Can Say 
"I Am Not Wearing That Because It's So Last Year!" 
Or 
"I Wore That Twice!" 
In Base Pridefulness! 

Oh, That We Would Realize That 
The Things We Despise 
Are The Very Things Others Would 
Literally Kill To Possess! 

Food, Shelter, Clothing
Care, Comfort
Peace With God ... And Our Brethren
And 
Good Health 
Are Treasures Beyond Measure! 

Please Honestly Look At The Person In Smelly Rags
Barefooted And Dirt-Encased
Eating Out Of The Garbage
And 
Living On The Street 
And
In Heartfelt Gratitude Say: 

"There, But For The Grace Of God, Go I!" 

Our Gifts Are Many
Our Blessing Are Innumerable
So Please Do Not Consider Them
As Cheap Things Consumable! 

Peace!
