Think about this for a moment…what we take for granted, may be the very miracle that someone else is pleading in desperate prayer for right now. It’s so easy to take the simple, everyday, and ordinary comforts and relationships for granted… (that we tend to not even notice them)…until they’re suddenly gone. The most common things we assume will be there are – life, health, friends & family, beloved pets, basic freedoms, and simple comforts. But in a flash the “always there” can be gone forever…throwing us into confusion, fear, and anxiety. We can’t take what God has blessed us with for granted, for everything we have is a gift from Him. (James 1:17) So daily, we need to show appreciation to Him for what we have with a grateful heart, (Ephesians 5:20) for it may not be there tomorrow.
