Today’s sermon reminded me of so many things. Here’s one I’d like to share with everyone.
We tend to appreciate something ONLY when that something is gone.
We appreciate our health more, when we’re sick. We appreciate the fact we can eat and swallow well when we have a bad sore throat and our mouth is full of ulcers. We appreciate our parents more when they’re no longer around.
We’ve received so much in our lives but we tend to take them for granted. Consciously and unconsciously. We have a home, a family, a husband, children, meals on our table and our health. Sunlight, rain and air. And this is only to name a few.
Every second in our life is a blessing. It’s given and showered upon us without us asking for it. It’s pure grace from above.
Let’s not take things for granted.
Let’s start counting our blessings.
