It is easy to take things for granted. Many times, we go through life without stopping to notice the blessings we already have. We have food to eat, a place to live, clothes to wear, and people who care about us. These are all gifts from God. But sometimes, we block those blessings without even realizing it.
When we are ungrateful, we miss out on the joy those blessings are meant to bring. We may also keep ourselves from receiving even more. When we complain and focus on what we do not have, we are telling God that what He has already given is not enough. But when we choose to be thankful, we show God that we trust Him and value His gifts.
A thankful heart invites more blessings. When we are grateful, God can work in our lives in ways we never expected. So today, let us choose to look at all we have and thank God for it. As we do, we will begin to see even more of His goodness in our lives, more than we could have ever imagined.
