Gratitude is
one of the keys to unlock the doors of success, prosperity and
overflowing blessings. Watching a mother dot over her child who
played carelessly and wandered into the streets while she sold banana
and bottles of groundnut by a busy roadside awakened my spirit to a
mothers natural love and care for her child which can never be repaid
but a heart of gratitude towards this everlasting love and care would
go a long way if the child realises that.
In this
modern world of advanced technology dominated by smart-phones,
internet driven world ranging from e-commerce, e-banking, e-learning
(*e- electronic) and a host of other internet related activities
which includes games and entertainment facilitating human life,
howbeit the security disadvantages can make the world a more
ungrateful place to be.
People that
lived in the older days where this technolgy and gadgets where not
available, are more grateful with learning to be patient and living
one day at a time with much gratitude to nature and humankind with
primitive farm labour and handwork.
I could
flash back on a picture I saw sometime ago of a boy having all the
gadgets, from Ipad, Laptop computer, Phones, Electronic TV sets,
DVDs, and Arcade Video games and yet was frowning and discontented
while a boy pictured in a village playing with a handmade toy made of
wood and a paint bowl cover was excited and had an attitude of
contentment and gratitude.
The dangers
of ingratitude can be dire and detrimental. Life is a gift, awarded
by the Supreme Being to a fortunate human being. We should be
grateful for life and appreciate every single act of kindness towards
one another.
There was a
spectacular scenario of gratitude and thanksgiving in the bible which
highlighted the sapient tale of "The Ten Lepers" healed by our Lord
Jesus Christ, but only one came back to give thanks to the Lord.
(Luke 17:11-19)
Gratitude
and thanksgiving seals one testimony and makes it permanent while
also promoting more grace, peace, good luck, prosperity, overflowing
blessings in the life of a grateful heart.
Ingratitude
and complaining promotes impatience, depression, hate, envy, and a
host of other pessimistic vibes and attitudes.
Maintain a
heart of gratitude and tap into the overflowing blessings attached
with gratitude and thanksgiving.
Have a great week ahead.
