Gratitude

The person who is able to be grateful, no matter what, is rich indeed.

When we think of the reality of how much we are spoiled / spoiled with good friends / spoiled with health / spoiled with life and more especially, spoiled with the gift of Faith.

How could we not be grateful?

Perhaps there is a blind spot in each of our lives where we only see what we want to see, and so we are like someone who has lost the vision of sight, we are blind.

I can only imagine what it must be like to be unable to see / to be surrounded by darkness and left dependent on the sight of others.  It would indeed be an affliction and yet, often we may find ourselves living in a world of darkness because we don't want to see.  

We may want to fool ourselves and be guided by our selfish pride which is blind to reality.

If this should happen to us, then we can only pray for guidance and have the good will to accept the advise and help  that comes from good friends.

God is the Light of the world.  It's not God's intention that anyone should live in darkness.

The secret of having spiritual vision is based on our ability to be grateful to all that comes our way, even those things that hurt and cause pain.

A good Father will protect His children, yet He will also allow them to experience pain for the sake of Truth so we can be healed.

Gratitude is the key to happiness.
