So you plan the meal, buy the necessary ingredients put the meal together serve the meal watch the meal being enjoyed and how does it feel after all this if no-one says thanks. My family are pretty good at remembering to say thanks but just occasionally they get distracted and forget, and boy does that make me mad.

 

So I was thinking today how God must feel when we forget to say thanks, the lilac bush that is bursting with blossom and filling the air with its heady scent, as I enjoy do I say thanks? The blackbird sitting on the fence singing a song that lifts my spirits do I say thanks? The food I have enjoyed and the people who enrich my life do I say thanks?

 

The truth is like most people I am much too busy getting on with other things, but shame on me , for thanks acknowledges that I have seen it, that I have enjoyed these gifts and that I give God the glory.

 

"O, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good." - I Chronicles 16:34
