I'm always amazed at God's goodness to us even when we don't deserve it. To be blessed and live in America where there is freedom and a beautiful scenery . And still we forget many times where everything comes from and that in a split of a second we could lose it all.

There is so much given to us and some forget to stop and give thanks to God even once a week. There must be an emptiness and longing there that nobody or nothing can fill and somehow we try to fill it with other things. Perhaps the busyiness of our work and accomplishments, maybe our loved ones, or entretainment. Accumulating wealth or possesions is another one. Are we going to be able to take anything with us?

I don't want to forget that everything I have and enjoy is given to me out of God's love for me, underserved but gratefully accepted.
