Thank God for nothing

When you have much, it is easy to become dis-satisfied, to complain and to want even more. Americans complain all the time. We can no longer afford to eat out, but still have food on the table. We complain even though we have the luxury of new cloths, just less expensive cloths. We complain that gas costs too much. Yet we still own cars. Look around people. Look both within your own community, then into less fortunate areas here in this county let alone to developing countries. No matter if we lost a bundle in the downward spiral of today's economy. We are still better off than the majority of people in this world. Rejoice in God's provision. Thank Him even more when in your eyes, you have nothing.

When you have nothing, you learn to get by with nothing. Use this time to broaden your vision, to develop a new perspective, to learn how to live on what you do have and be glad you have it. God is still on His throne. He still loves you. He still provides your needs (not necessarily your wants). Reach out to those who need help and graceously accept help from others when you need it. You may find that you are not alone, but part of a loving, caring community. It is when we have nothing that we need each other the most. Yes, thank God for nothing. It is an opportunity to serve Him both litterally and by example.
