Today my daughter called me and told me to go outside there was a meteorite shower. I ran outside stood awhile and called her and said, “I don’t see anything.” She said, “There will be a couple an hour.” There was no way I could stand outside the whole time but I made the effort because a Meteorite Shower is rare.
A third attitude that keeps us from being grateful is carelessness. Someone once said that if the stars only came out once a year, we would stay out all night to watch them. But they are there every night and we have grown accustomed to them.
The Israelites grumbled because they had no food so God miraculously sent manna (crust-like bread) to cover the ground each day except the Sabbath. Then they started to grumble because it was the same thing every day.
They had a miracle - straight from God every day but were no longer satisfied. Because of pride, carelessness or a critical spirit we will never be truly thankful for all that God has given us.
In our journey to Thanksgiving let’s not take things for granted or become accustomed to the people in our lives but be careful to celebrate every moment we are given.
