Why should I give thanks

Lead image

Good afternoon my beautiful people and how are you all doing today?

My day has been so boring because I spent it all alone at home without no electricity and there is no electricity for 3 weeks now, in fact, we haven't used electricity this year 2022 and the developer of my shop is not even helping the matter but I pray everything should be set this month because am seriously tired of staying at home I can't wait to start my shop.

So let me continue with today's topic why should I give thanks?

Some people keep asking why should they give thanks when they are broke, some ask why they should give thanks when you don't live up to their mates standard well let me tell you no matter what you are going through in this life you have every reason to give thanks.

Because some are dead which means they don't have a chance to give thanks even though they don't deserve to die but God gave you and me the second chance so that we could give all thanks to Him and there you are complaining about what to be thankful for?

Well if I were you I will start thanking God now because it is not easy to raise a child in this hardship world but yet your parents raised you and you are alive safe and sound isn't that enough reason to thank God?

You have a roof over your head and yet you are complaining that the apartment is too small for you while some are sleeping on the street without a bed.

you have food to eat and yet you are complaining that you don't like that food while some don't even have anything to eat and they don't know if they will eat.

you have clothes to wear and yet you are complaining that the clothes are not the latest ones while some don't even have the old fashion clothes to put on they just go with anything they see.

And still, you think there is nothing to thank God for? Sometimes I keep wondering how people on the street survive in the rainy season if someone that has an apartment is complaining of cold, sometimes I wonder how people that sleep in the street feel if there is trouble everywhere if someone that is living inside a house is scared.

Little story......

Well let me tell you a little story about a guy who is always complaining of not having it all he has 5 jeans trousers with 4 shirts to it and he is working as a cashier in a hotel and he is living in a room and a parlor self but Instead of thanking God for the little he has he keeps complaining if not having enough clothes for not getting a good job.

And one day he is on his off day and then he washed all his beautiful Jean and shirt then went inside to sleep for a while guess what by the time he wakes up to pack his clothes where he spread it all his clothes are gone and then he keeps asking the neighbors if they see his clothes.

Then one woman who he has complained to before said: why look for them since you don't like them, the woman continue talking to him and said: now you will understand the difference between I have a little from I don't have at all and the guy burst into tears that he has been so ungrateful to God because there are so many people who don't have up to what he has but still they give thanks to God.

And he has more than enough but still, he keeps complaining now that all the clothes are gone he now realized that he has something he should have been thankful for, and am sure most of us are just like this guy.

We have little but we don't appreciate it because we are looking at some other people who have more than us but we are not seeing people that don't have at all.

There is always a reason to be thankful so don't be an ingrate keep thanking God for the little you have.

Thanks for reading.
