This weekend I went scuba diving at La Perouse and saw not one but two pot belly seahorses! Below is a photo I took.
I felt so privileged to be allowed to see such beautiful animals that I rang my wife when I got to the car and told her about how God blessed me that day. As I drove home I had to verbally thank God to release the pressure in my heart.
As a Christian I do not believe in coincidences, but rather that all of life is orchestrated by God. Sometimes God is so generous that we develop an entitled attitude – you know what I mean if you have teenage children!!
'For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.' Romans 1:21
Like teenagers, we too forget to say thank you. Losing the habit of saying ‘thank you’ we effect our hearts and minds in very bad ways – we dehumanise ourselves.
As we pull out of lockdown and head to a new year, can I encourage everyone to start new habits of being thankful.
Start saying ‘thank you’ to people who give you good things. May the Lord give you eyes to see good, the lips to declare good, and the hands to do good things. In Jesus name.
Thanks for your time.
