Thankfullness

Sometimes we don't realize what we have, even when it's right in front of us. We get caught up in our daily routine of our lives and take the things we have for granted. A lot of people say not to take the things we have for granted all the time, but that means the small things as well. Doing the same things everyday, it can cross our minds that what we have is valuable to those who don't have anything in this world. To starting your day to a cup of coffee or tea, we don't think about the people that are just begging for a drop of water. God gave us so much that we should just be thankful for what we do have. Though our lives are not perfect and we face trials everyday, we should always hold onto the things we have for any moment it could be taken away. I am reminded that I may not always have what I want, but I always have what I need. We all go through tough times in our lives. However, we need to always put in our minds that our situations can always be worse then what it actually is. Just be thankful for what you have, even if it's not much. You may always fight with family, but at least you have them. You may hate your job, but at least you have one. You may hate certain foods, but at least you have food on the table. You may dislike where you live, but at least you have a place to stay. Things like these, we don't realize we can be selfish with, but honestly we are spoiled and we don't deserve half of what we have. It's a simple lesson that we all have to learn and though some people will never value what they have, I indeed will be thankful for everything that God gave me. Will you?
