Have you said thank you today? Have you been truly thankful in a while? Many atimes, we fail to see the very mighty things in front of us mainly because we focus too hard on the little things, our eyes and by extension our mind becomes blocked to things that are overwhelmingly too large to be ignored. its a very simple logic:
To see little things, you have to squint while you will need to keep your eyes real open to see larger things. The message here is this, while we might be out here pondering over minute issues, we dwell so much on them that we lose sight on all the very marvellous things going on. I will share a short story, a woman had a child that failed to move up a class in the new term, she was so ashamed that she decided to change his school but none of the five schools she approached would have him for that class so in the end he went to repeat that class. sometime into that new session, kids of the class her son would have been in had a state excursion that included the other schools she had previously been to. There was accident and lives where lost, it was the first time in months she thanked God for her son. She had stopped school meetings out of shame.
I am not advocating that we live a complacent life, i am encouraging us to look beyond setbacks with convincing determination that there is a better tommorrow. Today, we should learn to look up to the heavens and say thank you, look at spouses and say thank you, look at the kids and say thank you because no matter where you are standing today,there are people that pray daily to stand right there. Thank you for taking out time to read.
