Worth Noting:
- Like the birds who are happy every morning just because they have been gifted with a brand new day and take that opportunity to be thankful to their creator by singing to him with their joyful melodies so should we in each and every time remain appreciative.
- Unlike us human beings the birds eat on daily basis but do not keep reserves but lives in hope that they will find something the following day so we too should not worry excessively about what will happen in the time to come especially when issues are out of our control rather we need to focus on our creator for provision.
A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer ……… Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Life has ups and downs. This happens to everyone. Not everything is predictable so at times when we are worried about possible bad outcome of an issue it may turn out to be a favourable one while at other times we may fail to arrive at an answer we were searching for.
Religious centres as well as entertainment joints especially the drinking places reap throughout the seasons both during times of plenty and during times of deficiency. In times of plenty people are full of thanks giving so they attend such places as a way of celebrating while during tough times they attend religious centres with an aim of praying to be blessed with what they are lacking. Those stressed go to beer drinking joints as a way of trying to get relieve from stress.
As human beings we feel pain during the times of lack and wonder why it has to be us who have to experience deficiencies but we always need to remember that being alive in itself is a gift, be thankful for it then pray that our creator may show us the way forward by creating channels of inflows of resources like food and revenues that we require.
Lamenting is a negative energy, we need to avoid over dwelling on it and think of good times and how we ought to enjoy life.

When we think of our parents we should be grateful that God gave them to us and in our young hood they played a great role to see us succeed in life with some of them sacrificing so that we may live well even during our adulthood.
Through such appreciation even without necessarily informing our parents that we are grateful our creator is happy that we have acknowledged and admired his works in our lives.
Take an example of a parent and his kids you will realize that till they start earning they are always dependent on him at times he is not able to provide for them everything they want but all what they use is purchased by him. When such children focus on what they have not been provided with the parent may feel unappreciated for the sacrifice he has made to enable the kids to live comfortably.
In such cases if the kids are grateful to the parents for what he has already provided all the family members would be in friendly terms and when he is able to raise money out of love for his family high are chances that he could be willing to provide what he was unable to manage there before.
Appreciate of whatever you already have then remain active searching for whatever else you wish to have. This will help you to avoid negative energies which would in turn lead to stress and tension.
