Be Grateful

Good day Friends,

Some of you may have seen the following on either my Facebook or Twitter accounts:

"In my younger years I often complained about the type of shoes I had... Until I saw a man with no feet! Appreciate what you have before it becomes what you've had!"

As humans we so often forget to thank God for all that we have, as we spend too much time focusing on what we don't have or what we would like to have.

You may not drive a fancy sports car, stay in a palace, fly around the world on your private jet, sail the seas on your boat or even dine at the world's finest restaurants but when you woke up this morning, you just had a rest on a bed, you had air in your lungs, you had a roof over your head, you had running water to either brush your teeth or have a bath, you had clothes to wear, a meal for breakfast and for many a job/school/college to go to...

These are simple gifts given to you by God, provided for each and everyday so that you do not have to go without necessities. Did you say thank you?
There are people who go to sleep at night not having even eaten all day. Did you share a portion of your meal with them?
If you see a young boy walking without shoes, would you give him a pair of yours?

We are stuck in a society where we are so self orientated that we forget to SEE what is actually going on... I don't know about you but for me, this is really a great concern.

Here's my challenge to you...
Thank God each day for the renewed mercies He has provided you with as there is always something to be grateful for, then go out and make it a habit of touching atleast one persons life. Even if you just share a smile. It may mean nothing to you but it could certainly mean the world to someone. Making the "invisible", VISIBLE!

Until next time, You Have The World At Your Feet!

Stay Blessed,

Fabian Frank
