Grateful

How many times have you received a gift from someone and said to their face: "Oh this is not what I wanted." "I can't stand this." "I hate it!" ? For the most part (I would hope) that none of us would do that. Not only is it rude, it's ungrateful. Well, God showed me something about this this morning as I was getting ready for work. I did not feel like going to work today, not at all. I was complaining about it to myself as I was rushing to get to work on time. But God asked me "Are you not grateful that I gave you this job? Do you not like what I gave to you?" And the tone of His voice just sounded sad. Well, I pretty much felt just terrible. But it's so very true. I would feel horrible if my parents gave me a shirt, and I said "ew I don't want it." It would hurt their feelings, make them feel unapperciated. Now I love my parents with all my heart, but shouldn't I give God more? Why in the world would I want God to feel like that? Now we alllll have our days when we say "I don't like my clothes" "My stupid car" "I hate my job" but God gave us all of these things because He loves us. Because He desires to give us whatever we need. Weather it's big or little, God put everything in our lives. I know I will think twice before I complain about something that God gifted to me. And always remember to thank Him for everything in my life.
