Gratitude attitude to my situation

Wait, wait wait, have you ever imagined your situation to look as if you have got no reason to be happy and appreciate what you have. My dear, may I prove you wrong? I am not discouraging the quest to step forward and make advances but I am trying to advocate for being appreciative for what you have.

I was working in a forest and came across these huts and to my chagrin, I found people living there. Do you know what? They still live as VIPs. Can you imagine the risks they face-wild animal attack, mosquitoes and other insect bite, no portable water, no access road and all the rest. Before then I was a kind of grumble because of the difficulties we experienced in the forest. But when I saw these men in their huts, I needed no prophet to tell me to have a gratitude attitude to my work. My brother, I vow even if I am offered whooping sum of a million Dollars to pas some nights there, I am convinced I would never accept that offer. Yet people are there living as kings and queens. To these men, if they could be where you are, they have experienced heaven on earth.

I thought about something-that there are people who craving to be in my position, do the kind of work I’m working and all the rest but I do not seem to notice the good things about my job. Some who got jobs with a little pay grumble, the jobless pray for jobs of little pay. The ones with jobs of little pay pray for jobs with big pay and the pray continues. The sick prays 'Lord, if you can make me fit to walk out of this bed, I would serve you for the rest of my life'

The childless prays ‘Lord, if you can give me at least one of my own, I would dedicate his life to you’ The one with a child may pray ‘Lord, if you can give me just one more, I would thank you like never before.’ The one with many complains about the palaver he experiences from the children. Now the singles may pray Lord please connect me to the man of my heart.’ The prayer and quest continues.

It is a world of insatiability. People craving to be somewhere or to possess something but failing to see something good about where they are and about what they have. In as much as it wise to advance, it is also wise to be thankful to God for what have and where are.
