ingratitude

A step back is what is needed to see the blessings for He has bestowed. More often than not, its always the case of bemoaning why events didnt go in perfect order as wished. Wondering why in the world God has not responded to prayers, why so long a wait. In the dark of this impatience, failed to see the other blessings God has slipped from under the corner of the door. So subtly, it goes unnoticed. Maybe unnoticed because so much has been given and it almost desensitises. All this while, tapping the foot impatiently. And when it comes, the blessing is quickly accepted with glee. Thinking that it was due inate capabilities, or some strange stroke of luck. All reasons except that it was God given. Much less to be said about pausing to give thanks. How great is the love of God. It is beyond my comprehension.
