Why are some people grateful
and others not? Is it because some people have had better experiences in life
than others? If so, then why do so many people who have been through so much
seem to have such thankful hearts; while others who have experienced a much
easier life seem so ungrateful for it?
“When I’ll have a car? If only I have a car is not difficult if I want to go anywhere, why do we
like the decrepit shack homes while our
neighbors have the facilities
and stately home?”
That
is piece of a sentence that either consciously or not, always comes out of
our lips. We have always and always feel less
alone,
that's human
nature to always be felt less by the gift that is given by God ,
and the lack of
gratitude is to
make the day-to-day
lived far from being happy.
Always
restless,
and people who behave thus less able
to enjoy life.
He was tormented by desires
that are far from reality.
An overwhelming desire not followed by hard
work and smart, and too far from prayer.
Age of a man is not
long, very rare among us
that in the given age until they reach the
age allotted 80's or even 90's. On
average we are only up to age 60's or less. Does that mean that
short of age should be filled with things
that are fun less?
We understand very much,
how to please ourselves. How beautiful
the days when we
went through rations to replenish our life
is filled with be grateful for all the
gifts given by God.
So that all the blessings
that will always
surround our lives.
How many people who think we are
living happily with wallowing in wealth, the opposite of life, far from being restless and unhappy, one of the
cause of it all is the lack of
gratitude for the gift that is
given to him. Because of that grateful for the favors of God is our duty. However,
one must understand
how to reflect our
gratitude properly. Many of which reflect a
sense of gratitude in a way
contrary to the principles of gratitude
itself, for example, there is a manifest
gratitude by drunkenness,
orgies, go where sinners, to forget their duty to
another.
Try running the command of His earnest and
sincere, that's a
real gratitude. For
that, go for the happiness and
blessings with always be grateful to live with
HIM, so that we
can be classified as a grateful servant of Him. Truly,
that's the essence of real life where we
can appreciate our
lives, always grateful for what
we get.
Could it be
that the way each of us is raised gives us our eventual perception of life and
gratitude? Is our outlook based on the religious training we received at an
early age? Did that help us develop an even stronger sense of gratitude to God
and to others as we matured?
Maybe it's a
combination of life experiences and events, that none of us will really know
why we feel as we do when it comes to gratitude. Maybe it doesn't matter. In
the end, ultimately what counts is that we either have developed a grateful
heart and a thankful spirit or we have not.
As we approach
the season of giving thanks and look back over our life, is there sufficient
reason for us to be grateful? Do we sense that all of what we hold nearest and
dearest truly has been given to us by God? Can it be that the steady reminders
in Scriptures to be thankful also are reminders that encourage us to be grateful?
“If the only prayer you say in your life is
‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” Gratitude means thankfulness, counting
your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that
you receive. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a
miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you’ve been given.
Gratitude shifts your focus from what your life lacks to the abundance that is
already present. In addition, behavioral and psychological research has shown
the surprising life improvements that can stem from the practice of gratitude.
Giving thanks makes people happier and more resilient, it strengthens
relationships, it improves health, and it reduces stress.
If we truly
are thankful, then the spirit with which we live our lives will proclaim to
God, and to the world, how grateful we are for all we have been blessed with in
life. However little or however much that may be, let us each be thankful!
