Thankfulness depends on what is in your heart, not
what is in your hands.
People in today’s world find it easy to complain about
things. About their shortcomings or what they don’t have or "can you
believe the price of gas?", or "can you believe the slow traffic?" Yet
in every single situation, that same person also has a lot to be
thankful for. He or she can still drive, they have food on the
table, shelter, protection from the weather, and typically they even
have money in the bank.
It may seem like your circumstances aren’t all that
great in today’s shallow and materialistic world, but in reality you
still have a lot for which to be thankful.
Always remember that our Father God in heaven is the
one in charge and he knows what our needs are. He knows our
circumstances. "Be not you therefore like them: for your Father knows
what things you have need of, before you ask him (Matthew
6:8)"
Think on the many ways God provides for us and blesses
us. Let’s learn to be thankful for what we have and not get caught up in
ingratitude because of what we think we lack.
Thankfulness depends on what is in your heart, not
what is in your hand.
