The beat goes on–and on—and on—-. Yes, life is both busy and complicated. We have countless responsibilities, some of which begin before sunrise and many of which end long after sunset. And with the rush and crush of the daily grind, it is easy to lose sight of God and His blessings. But, when we forget to slow down and say, “Thank You”, to our Maker, we rob ourselves of His presence, His peace and His joy. Our task as believing Christians, is to praise God, many times each day. Then with gratitude in our hearts, we can face the daily duties with the perspective and power that only He can provide. It is only with gratitude that life becomes rich. A sense of gratitude for God’s presence in our lives will help open our eyes to what He has done in the past and what He will do in the future . ~Colossians 3:15
