Finding Gratitude
So, I was getting some maintenance done on the car my son drives. When I asked him to come and pick me up I got attitude. Apparently I disrupted his Saturday morning sleep. Well I got up at 6:15 in order to get the car fixed and I never got a thank you for the money I spent. Then I thought: I wonder if God has the same problem with me? I have a good job that puts food on the table for my family and yet sometimes I still complain. Ouch. Yes, all children need to learn gratitude and to be content.

Huh, well I got up at 6:15 in order to get that car fixed, and I never got a thank you for the money I was spending. And then I thought: I wonder if God has the same problem with me?
