Thanksgiving

[Guest guest]

Namaskar

 

My friend lives in Delhi. When I go to Delhi I stay with him for

some days. During these days he gives a car for my use.He takes me

out for Dinner, at the end of my visit, I am filled with a

tremendous sense of gratitude and thank my friend profusely and buy

nice gifts for him and for his family. I will surely fail in my duty

as a decent human being if I did not thank him, if I did not show my

gratitude and appreciation to him and to his family. After all my

friend provided me with the means of material comforts in the form

of car and meals to me.

 

What, if we enumerate the items that are millions of times more

valuable than a car or the dnner out,given to us free of charge?

Surely we must show our gratitude and thankfulness to the provider

of such valuable items.

 

Upon waking up in the morning, God restores our memory and thoughts

over which we have no control when we are sleeping.

 

At mealtimes, we eat food but what power is there that enabled the

assimilation of essential elements from the soil, the sun , wind and

water to turn the seed into a final product that we call food? Man

does not fully understand the intangible force or the intelligence

wrapped up in the soil of the earth- the force that provides us with

every morsel of food we eat, and every article of clothing we wear.

 

Who makes us hungry? No matter what we eat: white milk, green

vegetables, or brown bread, it turns into the same red colour of

blood. Who does that?

 

If we place food in a dustbin, it will rot. If we place food in our

stomach, it gets digested. Who provides the brilliant chemical works

and the fantastic machinery within our bodies that digest the food

and extract nourishment there from? Even the most brilliant

scientists cannot transform the variety of foods we eat into energy.

And who extracts the waste products from our bodies?

 

At bed time who bestows the peace of mind that makes sleep possible?

 

We are indeed sustained in our day to day living only by the grace

of God and it is only befitting that we express our THANKS and

gratitude to God. The creator of the universe resides in us and He

keeps us healthy, happy, and cheerful. In fact, God is the constant

flow of energy within us.

Have a wonderful day...count your blessings
