I woke up
this morning and
knew that today,
the sun would
not be shining
and the clouds
would be gray.
As I stepped
outside, rain
fell upon my
head.
My car wouldn't
start so I
walked to school
instead.
I forgot all of
my assignments,
I failed all of
my tests.
I dropped my
head in disgust
and asked the
Lord for one
request.
Lord, why is it
that things
won't go my way?
He gently
replied, "Dear
child it is
because you
didn't
thank me
yesterday.
I woke you up
and enabled you
to see the sun
again.
I gave you
shelter,
protected your
family,
and even let you
make a new
friend.
I blessed you
far greater than
I ever had
before.
But you were too
busy to thank me
once more.
You didn't feel
sick because I
maintained your
health.
You had money in
your pocket
because I
maintained your
wealth.
You had shoes on
you feet and
clothes to wear,
too.
You had plenty
of food to eat,
and what did you
do?
You ignored me
and went about
your tasks.
But when you
wanted something
you never
hesitated to
ask.
I was there when
you needed me,
and that wasn't
too long ago.
But when things
started going
your way,
it was me you
did not know.
As if that
weren't enough,
I provided your
favorite
luxuries.
This was
something I
didn't have to
do-they
weren't even
necessities.
And when it was
time to get on
your knees and
show your
gratitude,
You decided that
after such a
fulfilling day,
you weren't in
the mood.
So I decided to
give you just a
little test.
To show you how
it would feel to
stop being
blessed."
I began to
realize what the
Lord was saying.
And when I got
home, I fell to
my knees and
started praying.
He said, "My
child, you have
learned and you
know I do
forgive.
But remember to
remember this
day as long as
you shall live.
I love filling
your life with
joy, and your
pain I'll
alleviate it.
But just a
simple thank you
would show how
much
you appreciate
it.
