Look Closer At Life...

This morning (should I say, yesterday morning), as I was discussing with my core client, I saw a statement on the calender of his desk mentioning....

"When we look closer at our life, we will discover miracles"

It really struck me as indeed we must appreciate what we have as in echoing to my lovely lady's sharing in one blog, then another hero posted on his own....and especially during this season of love when preparing the coming of Christmas.
Life is precious & priceless, a miracle of God.

As we have health, we reflect on others who are suffering from all types of sickness/diseases,
As we have job, we reflect on others who are jobless and struggle to have their ends meet,
As we have time, we reflect on those who have less time, probably given less than 24 hours to live on,

As we have family and friends, we reflect on those who are lonely without loved ones or friends
As we have our home, we reflect on those on are homeless,
As we have food to munch, we reflect on those hungry,
As we have cloth to wear, we reflect on those who are naked,
As we have hands or legs, we reflect on those who are limbless,
As we have ear and eyes, we reflect on those who are blind and deaf,
As we love to share, we reflect on those who cannot love,

As we can forgive, we reflect on those who cannot forgive

As we have peace, joy & harmony, we reflect on those who yearn for it,

As we could share on all type of the gifts we received from God with others, we shall reflect on those who do not have such opportunity to share with others...Thus, Be Thankful Always, God has given us a lot of miracles which we are not aware if we do not look closely on our own life...every inch, side, second of it...we may miss the best grace and blessing of life. If we take these miracles for grantede chance to lose them...as He is always with those who appreciate and love Him....

There are people who sometimes misunderstand gratitude for complacency (as once discussed in our other common blog), and also those who mistaken complacency for gratitude.

Truly successful people have a well-balanced life, as they apply gratitude to every small things that they experience in life, they are also constantly striving to achieve more. Better health, better wealth, better relationships etc.

Some think that striving for better material things in life is "un-spiritual"...I think that's sad, afterall, God made everything for a reason. He certainly knew why he made money.

A man of giant integrity & wisdom once said this "When a lot of good money falls into the hand of a lot of good people, a lot of good things happen". I will always remember these words.
