Ungrateful


Amazing how many a times, the traits we find repugnant in people are the very same traits we ourselves have(though we wouldn't admit it). It is a very scary thing if you think about it. And one of these very traits is ungratefulness.

It is definitely so much easier to see what we do not have, and that is because we have too much. For one who is accustomed to having very little or nothing, even the 'simplest' of things is like gold to them. 

Whenever I am struggling with being discontented, I find there is only one antidote strong enough to dispel it-remembering the blessings God has given me.

Please make very intentional effort to be grateful until it becomes more habitual. 

A kikiga proverb says entasiima ebur'owagiha, meaning the ungrateful hand does not receive. 

1Thessalonians 5:18"give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"
