THURSDAY THOUGHT 4/3/08

Thank God we’re not like those thick-headed, ungrateful, whining Israelites in the desert with Moses.  I mean, God gave them meat in the evening (flew right into their camp) and bread in the morning (just there, waiting for them when they woke up), and they still griped.
 
Nope, not us.  Every day we crack open the frig and thank God for our food; sleep in a warm, clean bed, have a decent home, car, maybe even two pairs of shoes and a change of clothing — and we spend the whole day with happy smiles on our faces and gratitude in our hearts.
 
Oops.  Maybe not.  Well, perhaps today.  God bless, be happy and thank God for our blessings, no matter how much or meager. — jri
 
The Lord said to Moses, “I have heard the
grumbling of the Israelites.  Tell them, ‘At
twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning
you will be filled with bread.  Then you will
know that I am the Lord your God.’”
