Be Thankful Too

When those abominable moments in our lives arrive, my loving friend And with indignation our voices to heavens, in protest, we wish to raise Have to remember, the instances when happiness our companion was But we failed skywards, our eyes to turn to, for our dear Lord to praise! © Demetrios Trifiatis 13 JANUARY 2015

Demetrios, our lives or so wrapped up with what is going on around us that we do forget to say, thank you Lord. It is so much easier when things go wrong in our lives to place blame, instead of rebutting what is out in the world causing it. Blessings 7

Yes, dear Eve, But if we do not thank God then no right we have to blame the heavens. What goes on out there it is also our doing, in one way or the other. We are not blameless. Thank you for visiting.

Thank you, Jan! Yes, we can relate for all the time most of us are ready to complain when things are wrong but few of us are thankful when things go right! Thank you for your visit!
