I came across this quote in a book. It’s attributed to Patrick Henry Reardon. Since thankfulness has been on my heart lately, this made me think:
Suppose for a moment, that God began taking from us the many things for which we have failed to give thanks. Which of our limbs and faculties would be left? Would I still have my hands and my mind? And what about loved ones? If God were to take from me all those persons and things for which I have not given thanks, who or what would be left of me?
Now I don’t believe that God is really going to punish me for not being thankful, but I am sure that He wants us to be thankful and to be more mindful of the things we take for granted.
