Giving Thanks Makes You Happier...

“My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.” – Proverbs 4:20. 

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it, likewise, be thankful to our gracious loving God.

A construction Supervisor from 16th Floor of a Building was calling a worker on ground floor but because of noise the worker did not hear his call. 

To draw attention, the Supervisor threw a 10 Rupee note in front of the worker.

He picked up the note, put it in his pocket and continued to work.

Again, to draw attention this time, the Supervisor threw 500 Rupee note and the worker once again picked up the note and put it in his pocket.

Now the Supervisor picked a small stone and threw on the worker. The stone hit the worker. 

This time the worker looked up and the Supervisor communicated with him.

This story is same as to our 'Life'... 

God wants to communicate with us, but we are busy doing our worldly jobs.

He gives us small gifts, then He goes on to give us a big gift, then bigger and very big ones. We just keep them without looking from where we got these gifts.

We are the same as this worker. Just keeping the gifts and without thanking Him. 

We say we are lucky; we say it is our effort, we say it is my intellect that has brought me to this esteemed position. All we say is: “I, ME and MYSELF.”

But, when we are hit with a small stone or stones, which we call ‘problems’, ‘difficulties’, ‘trials’ and are in dire straits, it is then we look up and communicate with Him. 

That’s why it is said, “God gives, gives and forgives and Man gets, gets and forgets.” 

Always thank God. 

Stay Blessed!
