Gratitude

We should always be thankful for all that we have ....

I woke up this morning 

To  find that I was 

Blessed .

Lately i had always  complained about the least we thing.

I had no compassion 

no empathy 

I was cold 

Numb

Full of dumb pride.

One day i 

Tested the boundaries 

Went to far.

To my bewilderment 

I was a horrible person 

I  trodd on the most vulnerable people 

I  hadn't a clue and taken everything for granted 

There was no gratitude 

I just had a big attitude 

I hadn't seen life from the other side of the coin 

I had been naive 

Judgemental 

Now I was that vulnerable man 

All alone scared 

Was there someone kind enough to look out for me.

Should someone pity me.?

Well if that person had been me ..sadly no.

Again I didn't care I had everything. until the day I had nothing.

Why, should anyone have grace for me.

Yet when I looked at at the sky it was when I was at my lowest I cried out to God 

And asked him to have mercy on me.

I said a prayer of confession and hoped God would hear me.

At that moment a double rainbow shone over the hill.

The light shone over me .and at that very moment. 

I met with God and humbled myself .

And thanked God for saving me.

It's been a journey of reshaping my life 

And most importantly I have been reborn 

I thank my God everyday for everything I have .

Now I have an attitude of gratitude.
