TO REMIND US OF...
- What we take for granted = gratefulness!
- What we rely on
- Who we should rely on
- Focus on spiritual, rather than physical or mental needs
- Better ways to spend our time
To be grateful is especially important for us rich North Americans because we have so much right at our finger tips. It's too easy. For example I went 3 weeks without sugar last year because I was getting a lot of headaches, and when I had my first Starbucks Salted Carmel Macchiato after that sugar fast is was so so good. And I remember thinking, this is the best coffee. I've ever had! But it wasn't, it was exactly the same. The fact is that we can't truly enjoy something that happens to us every single day.
