GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #143

Why do we have to be grateful to God?

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #142‘.

Good morning Friends,

Can you answer a question, it’s not tough,
God has given you and me lots of stuff,
But has it ever occurred to us to turn to Him,
And say: “Thank you, God, we’ve had enough”?

Being grateful during our life on earth,
Shows we know, of the things, true worth,
God may not have given loads of money,
At least, of essentials, we’ve had no dearth.

One sure way to be thankful is to compare,
With those for whom even essentials are rare,
One can see them too being grateful to God,
Even though, unlike us, they’ve nothing to spare.

And if ever God gives us a little adversity,
Or we are required to face some scarcity,
We should do so without losing our balance,
In an atmosphere of calm and serenity.

I know of a way in which we can be rich,
No, it is not to go ahead and simply snitch.
It is to be totally satisfied with what we have,
Without having to satisfy let-me-have-more itch.

Because He always gives us more than we ask for.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
