[CE] Be Thankful.




Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen.
the lord's prayer - matthew 6:9-13 - jesus

It is funny how people complain about their lives everyday about little things in their lives.  Most of us "know" how bad other people in different parts of the world have it and we feel sorry for them, but we never really know for sure how bad it really is until we experience it ourselves.  These poor people in Pakistan had trouble enough already before the flood had taken down their homes but now it just makes it twice as hard because they have no roof over their heads.  Over 5,000,000 Pakistanians suffered from the rain flood and some died from the flood because of the collapse of these houses.  We should be thankful for everything we have that others do not such as food, shelter, clothes, money and much more.  It should not just be Thanksgiving that people should be most grateful for, in their lives but every living, breathing day.  Everyday may seem like a regular basis, but if you think about it, everyday we live we are exposed to so many different things that can happen without you expecting it.  People take a step out of their front door and they are planning to go socialize with friends, going to a job, planning on a vacation and much more.  We face so many different things in our lives and each day we end it with a good or bad night's sleep.  Live everyday single moment of everyday as if it were you're last because you never so what will happen.  Our best direction we go is optimism. Amen.
