Ungrateful Heart

Consider this: 

God didnt give us our mouths to complain. We may not hv everything we wld like today, in fact, we may be dealt w a whole lot of problems, but murmuring is going to make matters worse. We need to quit looking at what we dont hv n start thanking God for what we do hv.

Many people go around complaining, always looking at what's wrong. They see the negative in every situation n then they wonder y they R not happy n not enjoying their lives.  

Really, it's bcos they hv an ungrateful heart, an unthankful attitude. It's not a situational issue, but a heart issue! 

If they don't get to the root cause n start changing their mindsets, their situations will not change for the better.

Some people R unhappy w their spouses..."Well, U dont  know my wife...she's this, she's that..." "Well, U dont know my husband, he's this, he's that.. I dont even enjoy his presence."

Many people R lonely today, n they wish they hv someone to dine with, to share their lives with...

Let's remember this: no matter how imperfect our partners R, our children R, our physical appearances R, someone out there has it a lot worse than we do. Someone would love to trade places w us.

E.g. We may not hv the perfect job, the nicest of employers, colleagues n a fat paycheck... But be thankful that we r not in an employment line. Imagine being laid off for a year...no money to pay bills, banks sending in legal letters, not a single dollar to buy a simple meal... Then suddenly our former employer called n offered the same job. U know how thrilled we would be to hv that old job back... We no longer care abt the nasty boss, the mean colleagues, the long hours, the lousy company system etc.

What made the difference? Our perspective changed!!

Thanksgiving is abt having a positive mindset n a grateful heart.:D Everyone has a reason to give thanks. Even a handicapped person can be thankful that he is alive n still breathing:D 

More than a million people die every single week. Think about it, if we hv a roof over our heads, we r better off than 75% of the world's population. If we hv a hundred dollar in our account, we r already considered in the top 10% of the world's wealthiest people. 

How blessed we are!! Praise the Lord. Hallelujah:D
