I remember my grandmother told me once..”Children’s happiness reaches up to heaven…” This I have seen with my own eyes when my kids were surprised by my mother with books and some hand me down clothes from my auntie abroad…It may not be new but you could really see how happy and exited they are when they saw those books handed to them…They did not even question if those stuff were new or how much was it… They just took it and said thank you jumping up and down… If my Aunt could only see their expression, she would be touched by the appreciation these innocent kids has shown..Unlike us grownup people, because if we receive something, and if it does not meet our standard, we don’t show any appreciation to it and sometimes even complain. Same thing with answered prayers..If we pray for something and we get the answer but not the way we want it or not the way we expect it, we don’t say “Thank You” but instead question why? But the truth of the matter is, that thing given to us, whether we think we don’t want it is good for us…I have heard one preacher say, God does not know how to say “No”…He just answers “yes”, “wait” and “it’s not good for you”…So in everything we receive, whether we like it or we think that we don’t want it, just say ” Thank you for the gift” because after all its freely given…If we have this grateful attitude in us, then maybe we all can say..Indeed it’s A BEAUTIFUL LIFE!
