Be Grateful!

Being grateful or expressing gratitude is one important virtue in life. It involves showing appreciation and the acknowledgement of something done for you. Any time you are grateful in life, you pause and ponder over your accomplishments to identify the God factor and the human factor that made things possible for you.

You see, irrespective of what you may think, God and other people’s contribution has made many things possible for you in life. That’s why you have no excuse for being ungrateful.
You owe God and the people God gave you some thanks. Never think that is nothing. It is beneficial to be grateful in life.

Most people have become self-conscious and have undermined the virtue of being grateful. In fact, the pressures of today’s world have caused many to be ungrateful in many ways. Many are busy with work, busy with education, and others with their own pursuit. Nobody stops to say “thank you” to God and to the people God brought their way to help in one way or the other.

No matter what happens don’t forget to be GRATEFUL. Remember that, you are what you are because God made it possible. No matter how small it may seem in your eyes, still say “THANK YOU LORD”. Don’t forget to also show appreciation to people God brought your way to make things well for you.

Read: 1 Thessalonians 5:18. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Prayer: Lord, I pray for grace and wisdom to always be be grateful to the pillars that have made things possible in life for me. Amen
