There is a direct and strong connection between humility and gratefulness, isn’t there? Every time I have feelings of discontent, I’m faced with the reality that somehow it is my “right” to be treated a certain way or to own something else. Each time I sense dissatisfaction with certain limitations or circumstances that are uncomfortable, I have a choice. I can complain and grumble and invite anyone who will be my audience into my pity party or I can see them as opportunities to search for the many and probably very obvious reasons that I have to be thankful. Oh Lord, help me to see life with Your eyes, so that gratitude will be the immediate response of my heart.
