None of us....

"None of us has gotten where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our own bootstraps. We got here because somebody . . . bent down and helped us."

Being Thankful

A colloquial story is told of a man who found the barn where Satan stores the seeds he sows in the human heart: envy, greed, anger, hatred, lust, and so on. The man noticed that Satan had more seeds of discouragement than any other kind, and he learned that those seeds were hardy and fruitful and could be made to grow almost anywhere. But when Satan was questioned, he reluctantly admitted that there was one place in which he could not get them to grow. “Where is that?” asked the man. Satan replied, “In the heart of a thankful man.”

When we choose a thankful attitude, our spirits resist the cynicism, discouragement, and pessimism that weigh life down. We’re better able to thrive and survive no matter what life throws at us. And our love for God blooms.

God, I pray for a thankful heart. Please nurture in me a spirit of gratitude. Amen.
