Gratitude
Being grateful is easy when one receives what he expected or when he receives something unexpected. But when one receives less, or worse, nothing, gratitude becomes the last thing on one's mind.
Recently, I received something less than what I've been praying for. I can say it's a little over half than what I was believing for. Naturally, there was disappointment and religiosity came into play. Not prayerful enough? Did not spend a lot of time doing rituals? Not reading my Bible according to the guide? Etc.
It took a few hours before I remembered that it is still March and there are nine more months left for the prayer to be answered.
The best thing is, God has more than one opportunity to amaze me in that area!
Press on!
PS I have been thinking of starting another blog on gratitude. Thinking about getting collaborators to help provide content/praise reports on how God showed up for them.

I guess the theme for this month is gratitude. It's just not as interesting to talk about as other things... But I still find it therapeutic.
gratitude does put a lot of things in their proper perspective...
thanks.
