When The Sun Rises

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it but because by it I see everything else.”

C.S. Lewis

One of the things I really want to teach my kids is to be thankful. Sometimes, I feel like I can spend a whole day doing special things for them, and yet, they still find time to whine about the one thing I didn’t do or buy. I find myself thinking, “They never appreciate anything I do for them. They just want more.” It actually frustrates me so much that sometimes, I hesitate in doing extra things because I anticipate them being ungrateful. I consider myself to be a thankful and polite person, but recently God pointed out (as only God can) how completely ungrateful I can be at times.
