Gratitude

gratitudeThere are lots of people who are unemployed. In every job fair that I have attended to, there were thousands of people who were applying for a job to earn a livin. Life is really difficult isn’t it?

We really need to work hard so that we can survive in our daily living…But the thing is, when we are hired by a certain company and then we are performing our tasks, we oftentimes complain for a thousand-file of works in our table…  We ask for a rest, right?  And we are always looking forward for a holiday. 

What an irony…Look!  If we don’t have job…we will search high and low to look for it…We will even offer novenas on bended kness and ask for God’s providential care so that we could find one…But then again, when we got a job, we complain almost everyday…

Instead of giving thanks to the Almighty One for the job that He has given us, what we give in return are lots of complains…Have you ever imagined that you are still blessed for you have a job and then you earn a living…? 

There are millions of people who are jobless…They even do unethical things just to sustain their lives.   But here we are, every fifteenth and 30th of the month we received our salary.  And still we complained?  Oh my Lord! What kind of individuals are we?  

Let’s give thanks to God and offer Him prayers and thanksgivings, for despite difficulties, pressures, critiques and struggles in our life, we still survive, and earn a living.  As what St. Francis says and I quote, it is in giving that we receive…

Thus, Give thanks to God to Whom we owe all things that we have….Express our gratitude…a sincerest gratitude…and God will never let us down.   

Gratitude is the memory of the heart, if the heart remembers, it always remembers in the spirit of gratitude.
