Gratitude

excerpt from 'Six Hours One Friday'by Max Lucado
I am only in the part where it told that most of the time people tend to complain not of the 'lack of necessities' but of the 'abundance of benefits',...'bellyache over the frills, not the basics; over benefits, not essentials. The source of the problems are the blessing.'

Gratitude. More aware of what you have than what you don't want. Recognizing the treasure in the simple --- a child's hug, fertile soil, a golden sunset. Relishing in the comfort of the common --- a warm bed, a hot meal, a clean shirt.
