Appreciate the Gift

Good morning and happy Thursday. ( Friday eve ). Those of you with kids can relate to this pretty easy. You love them with all you have. You want only the best for them all the time. They let you down here or there with some little stuff, but not too bad, from time to time. Then one day you simply realize they've changed. The change is in one of two ways. For one they have come to expect things to be the way they always have been but not have to do anything different on their part. We call it ungrateful or spoiled. Some where they missed the message we were trying to give them or we didn't get it across well enough. The other is an appreciative person who realizes the things that's been done for them and the cost it has been to their parents. In both financial and emotional senses. Is this not how we the children of God have become also? The saddest part is the fact we realize what's been done and still act the way we do with everybody else. We have all been given a gift. And we still don't wanna share and keep it to ourselves. We have to start living in a way that shows Gods glory and how much we appreciate what it is He has done for us. In love always. <><
