Are WeThankful?

Swollen from Meds

I have a friend whose granddaughter, Savana (age 2 1/2yrs) , has been in ICU for eighty-two days. She has had a multitude of problems and came close to death’s door a couple of times. But she is one determined girl!

 Here is part of an email I received this morning. I hope it touches your heart as it did mine. "A little while ago a member of the custodial staff came into the room to empty the two waste cans. As the woman was leaving the room Svana mouthed the words "Thank you" to her. I came close to crying. It is amazing that a child who has been through and is going through as much as she is has the presence of mind and disposition of spirit to thank someone for emptying the trash."

The Bible tells us that one of the sins characterizes the last days will be unthankfulness. I think you would agree we are living in an age when almost everyone feels entitled for everything they have [and want.] When was the last time someone thanked you for some act of kindness.


Maybe we can learn for this child to be thankful.
