Are You Truly Grateful?

There are many times when we go about life taking for granted the things that many hold so dear.  Thanks to a dear friend, Minister Nathaniel Edwards for reminding us on last week how to be grateful for even the things that we complain about.  This day forth let us try to acknowledge the Father in all things and remember that He created the heavens and the earth and everything that is in them.  Therefore, everything (creation) has a purpose.  Yes, even those bugs that I can’t stand have a purpose each to their own for being a part of this great universe.  So, instead of complaining let me accept the fact and be grateful that all things work together for my good.  (Sidenote)…I hope the bugs can do all of their work on the outside of the house. 

All of this is a gentle reminder that someone out there would be happy to have a bug in their house, because they don’t have a house to live in.  Someone would be happy to be stuck in traffic because they don’t have a car to drive.  Someone would be happy to have the job you complain about because they haven’t been able to find employment to support their family in over 5 years.  Remember, true appreciation comes from the heart and not the lips. 

I am grateful and honored to be able to share this word with you as we learn and grow in love together.

Blessings,

Lady Monica
