Waking Up Each Day Is A Gift!

Each day one wakes up, each person needs to thank god every day. Those who love you and are important comes first. Money was created by man. Money should be worked for. Hard work means different things to different people! There are many jobs available. Each person has their reasons for choosing their work. Work is meant to be hard. Life is hard. There is no such thing as an easy life, except for those who are rich. They look down on everyone else like they are no good. In a way, I wish money does not exist. Then there would have to be another way to pay for what you need, what your family needs. Life and those who care plus each breathe you take. Money is nothing but an object! God, Jesus, Family, Life and Friends are what matters each day the most. not hard work or losing body parts to injury. That can happen and you don't need to be at work. So accept and deal with each day because you never know which second will be your last. Be happy with your life instead of telling someone else that they need medication that will make them sick. Judge not because only God can do that. Besides, what are you going to do if you die and your not ready or you have something happen? Are you going to deal with it or be sad and depressed over something that happens that is out of your control? I know people who have lost body parts, and not because of work. So, let people live their life. You lives yours and accept that there are more things that you will never know let alone deal with in your life time!

you are right each day is a blessing. when we wake up everyday it means that we are alive and the day that we take is a blessings that God has given to us. Remember to always thank our Lord for the wonderful gift that he has given to us.

Just like the saying goes; "Everyday above the ground is a beautiful day." I think you stated this discussion really well. I really needed to read it right now since I was upset about some things earlier. You're right though, each day that given to us is a gift from God. We never know when it may be our last, so it's wise to live each day like it's our last.

it is indeed a blessing when you wake up each day. that means you have yet another chance to do a lot of things you have missed out doing before you went to sleep. It means more than the things we promised, it means we can be better and we can do whatever we think may change our life as well. :D this is a wonderful discussion, by the way. thanks! =) Best Regards! See you Around! Happy mylotting.

It is hard for people to find a job in this society. Alot of them require college degrees and without money people can't afford to go to college to get those degrees. Some people have to work minimum wage to atleast put food on the table for their families. Some people are lucky to have the jobs they do whether they like it or not. I think you have your thoughts mixed up. I wake up every day and go to work by 630 in the morning to do my job and bring home a paycheck every 2 weeks. Every family struggles and money may not be everything but it's a part of life.

When I'm waking up at 6 in the am after all of 3-4 hrs of sleep I'm not sure I could agree, but I will. At least I'm still alive too enjoy what I can of life. I think there will come to pass, a time that money is no longer necessary. I'll be glad for that day ...Just as long as it does not involve the chip in the hand deal.

Yes I will definitely be looking forward to the day when money is not necessary. Trying to make a living is hard. Especially with the prices of everything going sky high and yet the value of a dollar continues to lower. It is so sad that so many people are struggling. But I do agree that life is a gift and we have to try and be positive about our own.

Even though I´m an agnostic, I was moved by your words and wholly agree with them. I am able to see the miracle of the sun rising every day and the flowers blooming. I am learning to live with my flaws and still be happy and feeling blessed.

good day desertrose16, indeed each day is a new gift from God. and we must be thankful about it. however, there are times i can't avoid to loose some enthusiasm. well, maybe this is due to the situations that i encountered in. although i am doing my best to be positive in all i do since i don't want to dwell on sad things, as life is just short to waste it. and, as you have said, life is hard, so i guess, we should do our best to make it simple and easy.

Yeah I agree with you we should view life as a gift. It is indeed very precious. We have to work extra hard as well to be balanced with how we use our time. Yes we do need to make a living to support our family but we shouldn't let it take over all of our time that we could be using for more important things. We need to have balance. It's not always easy but we can work on it.

i agree. life is so wonderful and we should thank God every time we woke up for giving us another chance to live, to love, to laugh. so let us celebrate everyday and cherish every single seconds of our life. life is too short to be wasted on crying, hating and blaming.

Hi desertrose, Yes, waking up every day is a gift and we should be grateful for life. I don't agree however, that life has to be hard and you don't need a lot of money to be happy. Life is good, even when we don't have a lot of material things. Family and friends are much better than money. Blessings.

We need money of course to survive, but we should not forget about God. What is the use of money if we forget about God. Money is the only way to survive here on earth and God knows that of course.

I believe in the saying that money is the root of all evil. But if man knows how to control money then it won't be a problem. Waking up each day is really a very big thanks to our creator. He is the only one who can get it back to us. As he did his part to us and we should also do our part here on earth and to Almighty.

I am thankful for each day that God allows me to wake, I love the time I have with my family, sadly they may never realize how much they really mean to me, with their busy lives, I am lucky to have had 6 children who I try to keep close to my heart and home, teaching them each day how important God is.

Actually not only the rich would look down on someone else even the poor and some servants would look down on you when you don't have lots of money. It's kind of different and weird nowadays. Some people are very disappointing. They look for money and work as their God. Some claim they believe in God but their actions and life deny it. You are right that waking up every morning is a blessing of God. We don't really know if tomorrow we can see the sun only God knows. I hope and pray that some people who live for money will realize themselves and thank God that they are still alive.
