Taking Things for Granted

When you find yourself not thanking God, you will find yourself taking things for granted. 
Today we find ourselves so complacent that the small things are expected, we don't understand where things come from, we just expect them to show up. Yet in all of this God still provides, and sometimes I would think he feels taken for granted... In everything we do we can find a reason to thank God, whether its a positive situation or a negative situation, there is always something to be thankful for. However, it is something that is our decision. Every day we wake up, many of us dreading having to face our problems, yet taking for granted that Christ was bruised, he was beaten nearly to death, hung on a cross, and laid in the ground for our sins. Jesus did not want to die, but he knew that he must drink of that cup, and so he did, for you and for me. And because of that we should wake up thankful, we should thank God for his Son, for the small things he has provided us, and for the small things others have done for us.
