i know i should not forget to give thanks to the Lord

Hi there Hotsummer! For the last couple of days, we have been busy taking care of my aunt's kids and their house but we still find time to thank God, usually, we listen to a preaching every morning, play songs for God and sing with it during the day, while we go about our chores. It will be this way for the whole week and then it will be back to normal. We usually read one chapter of Purpose-driven Life every day and we are learning more and more each day. Some people have busier lives than us but you are right that we should always find time to give thanks to God.

Everyday I try to give thanks to the Lord, he is amazing and has made many changes in our lives over the years.

What a wonderful thought to share! You are so right. It reminds me of when I used to keep a gratitude journal. I would write down every good thing that happened to me when it happened. It could be getting a good parking space to saving five dollars off of groceries...I'd write it all down. And I found I was a lot more grateful to the Lord when I wrote the blessings down on paper. I have not done that in a while I probably should. I often forget to thank the Lord because I focus too often on the negative and not the positive.

It always great to thank the Lord, for anything that we do, wherever we are, or how life reacts on every situation. Be thankful, it's good to set a prayer time of thanksgiving. As for me as much as possible, I do it every once in a while. In all things I thank the Lord. But I do have a prayer time, I do it morning, at 9:00 am, in the afternoon at 3:00 pm and before I go to sleep. Thank you Lord for giving me life once more and sharing my ideas here in mylot.

I don't thank the lord when I feel thankful or appreciating because I'm atheist. I thank the people who support me, my parents, friends, relatives and everyone else I know. But I know what you mean, and it's good to be thankful and realise that good things you have.

you are very spiritual person only a spiritual person can give thanks to lord others can just complaint so you are .you can enjoy each moment by giving thanks to the lord it is never hard to live it is just our preception our sense of need.for example a poor is contented with 1 rupees and give thanks to lord have good attitude and he can earn more but a rich who is struggling is not rich at all he is struggler and poor so,please go with a flow.enjoy mylotting and making friends and be grateful to lords appreciatng things is a good habits rare are able to do this and you have eyes to see just think of blind people so be grateful that you can see even you can write type this will work as a magic firstly it will transform the inner and only inner is necessary outer is not and remember a billionare who is not happy at heart is too much poor what money could do and remember do prayer,chanting of name of god,be present,go with a flow and help nd give everyone you would also be supported and love everyone you would also be loved transform yourself and you whole world would automatically would be transformed.

yes, the Lord looks after us and provides the things that we need. the simplicity of our lives depend on our efforts and graces and blessings from God. we earn what we deserve. what we know is that God is there to help us in our needs. our grateful and appreciative hearts and eyes must always be geared towards God.

Hi, We should not forget to give thanks to the God when we are happy. We always remember God in adversity and we forget to show gratitude for the blessings we have in life. We should enjoy every moment of life and grab opportunities we have in life.

Hi ! We can't have everything in this world , we are blessed with some and not with all, that what makes life fair and beautiful . To anything we have , we should have a grateful heart and should be willing to share . We should have compassion to those who are less in life . We don't own this worldly things , when we die not even a pinch we can bring.

For me, you don't have to possess any knowledge to tell what lies ahead, because it would surely be very boring living a life with no surprises at all. I guess the key to appreciating what we have is to pause from time to time, to think about what it feels to lack the things you enjoy today, the things you possess, the people you love and who loves you back, every infinitesimal that you have. In that way you'll learn to give thanks and appreciate what you have because compared to others, there are people who live in a hand to mouth existence, who doesn't have a roof over their heads but they still manage to find happiness with what life has to offer them. Me, I feel overwhelmed by what I have compared to others, compared to life I had during my childhood years. So it is more than enough for me to be thankful for.

I never forget to give thanks to the Lord, everyday when I get up, in the morning as I go through my day,Before I eat my meals,and I have time set a side, for when I pray during the day and just Thank him and talk to him, because he is my guide and my protection as I go through the day.

It is often that when one becomes busy and have no time for God. That is why it is important to spend time with Him before we start our day. Give thanks and glory to Him that is due to Him . He knows our needs and we are always blessed with the appropriate portion that is due to us. Nothing more or nothing less...Just be contented with what we have

I totally understand how you feel. I too forget to give thanks for the simplest of things. Sometimes i feel that i don't acknowledge God and/or don't spend enough time with him. But regardless, we should take a moment of the day to thank him. even if its in our minds. We should remember to thank him for the little things like waking us up in the morning. keeping us safe during the day. Anything could happen. Like a week ago with the bombing in boston. So when you look at what you have and what those poor innocent people went though, its a reminder of how awesome God. There was this one lady who was a ballroom dancer and she lost her leg. It was so sad, but she was go grateful to be alive! And she vowed to dance again. That was so inspiring. She could have lost her life. It just shows how amazing God is. Sometimes he allows things to happen, even though we may not understand. I hope that helps a little. God bless :)
