We are often reminded of the many things we take for granted.
We hear someone talking about how grateful they are for what they have.
They express their thanks for many things from food and water to the ability to breathe.
That is when we think about how ofter we forget to express their gratitude to the Lord.
Gratitude for all the commonplace things of life.
We show a lack of interest in the wonders of God’s handiwork in creation.
When we should be thanking Him for all the things that are important for our existence.
Think about the last time you expressed gratitude for things like, the starry heavens, the moonless nights, and the sound of flowing rivers.
For the ability to look at the structure of mountain peaks, the blooming flowers in a field.
The calming smell of falling rain, or even the golden sunset at the end of the day.
The blessings of the Lord can be seen everyday.
May we never be to busy to appreciate the ordinary things in life.
Choose each day at least one benefit taken for granted and give God thanks.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Father, as endless as Your blessings are, so should our praises be. Let us remember to take the time to admire all that You have done for us and give thanks.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
