As moms, what's the first thing we teach our children to do when they receive a gift? To say thank you. Tiny tots are proclaimed as well-mannered if they show appreciation, and possibly deemed little ingrates if they do not. We are concerned that our children exhibit gratitude appropriately to the right person. And there's nothing wrong with that. A little more gratitude in this world would go a long way.
But let's not ever forget where the gratitude should land ultimately: at God's feet. Healthy kids, a warm home, food on the table. How quickly we may forget to thank God for the most exquisite gifts. Tonight, instead of asking for more, let's be grateful for what we have right now.
