If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. ~Meister Eckhart
One of the things I remind myself everyday is to be thankful to God. And I realized when one starts to be thankful, one will realise that one is actually very blessed. I was over at my folks' today and I was just watching the Taiwan News about their Typhoon aftermath situation. There were all ages of people, crying out for their missing loved ones. It dawned upon me that I am really blessed to be in the midst of my family and husband.
Sometimes we focus too much on what we doesn't have. How about thanking God for what we have? When I look around and observe the pattern in people, I realised God is truly very fair. I maybe weak in Maths, but I am strong in language. It's a gift. Whenever I find myself getting envious of people, I start to count the all the blessings I have. Gratitude is the least of all virtues but ingratitude is the worst of all vices.
I thank God for CHC, I thank God for Mindy and Euzanne who gave their lives and blood to reach out to me. I just cannot imagine what will I be doing if I haven't come to know Jesus. And the fact that I am still serving in church... I am just utterly thankful for His grace.
Thank God for your parents! For not living in hunger, for not being handicapped! I mean we could be one of them. Thnak God for good health. Janelle is fighting her life everyday, we had the luxury to be healthy and grow up, and she has to fight for her life. Pals, there are just so many things to thank God for.
1 billion people in the world cannot find fresh water everyday. And everyday, children are sold for a price of a cappucino. If we stay thankful, soon enough you will realise you do lack nothing.
Good night everyone. Thank God for His love, can you imagine He decided to stop listening to our rants for a week. The world would go into chaos. Thank God for God :)
