GRATITUDE




I'm fond of using the line "All I have in life I worked for it"
but of lately I've been rethinking that line.
Is it true that all have in life I have worked for it?

What if my parent had abandoned me as a baby?
What if my Mum aborted me while still in her womb?
What if my parent never sent me to primary school?
What if my parent never sent me to secondary school?
What if my parent never sent me to university?
What if my employer never gave me my first career opportunity?
What if the friends that lifter and loved me during my trying times were never there?
What if my first boom never turn out to a success?
What if the friends that loved me, forgave me and gave me a second chance never did?
What if my parents were not hardworking and dedicated to my success?
What if my parents divorced and I had to stop my education?
What if those things that brought the expected joy and progress in my life never came my way?
What if the Sun never shines and the moon never lit?
What if those pastors that prayed for me and taught me about God and His words never did?
What if Christ's love was not encompassing and eternally enduring?
What if Mercy never prevailed against judgement in my life?
What if siblings rivalry stunted my growth.
What if Mr Death came too early?
What if favour was not part of my story?
What if the time and chance that happen in my life never came?
What if I never existed?
ETERNALLY GRATEFUL
